There are chemicals in the soda called Potassium Benzoate and aspartame that react with other chemicals in Mentos like the gelatin and Arabic gum.
there is a large amount of fruit acid in mentos , so when you react it with another acid they will combine and cause a reaction: if you put a mentos in a can of soda it will erupt, explode, ect. like an explosive volcano due to the fact of the acid. Above answer is completely wrong, there are tiny nucleation sites on the mentos where the CO2 of the soda's carbonation turns to real gas and fizzes up through the tiny opening. as a result of all the bubbles, the soda literally is pushed up and out of the bottle into a soda geyser.
Because they react
I did that in Science Camp once. When you put mentos in a soda bottle the soda will shoot up creating a little shoot up of soda. Its very fun!
Well you can put mint mentos in coke/pepsi and other drinks, soda, and it will shoot up. Is this what you were asking? Hope this helped.
Rather explosively. When you mix Diet Coke and Mentos, they will fizz like there's no tomorrow. If you want to try this, do it outside.
It depends on how much mentos are put into it. But you say it's a CAN of soda so i think probabaly about 1 meter
Mentos in Pepsi is a simple chemical reaction. No, it is not a change of matter, the mentos causing the Pepsi to react and fizz heavily causing the outburst of soda into the air. The Pepsi is still a liquid, but the mentos dissolves. Thus a physical change, but still a solid. Hope this helps~ Off Spring.
Yea - coke works the beast.
yes! put a mentos in it. and shake well. it will blast!
your dume
when the Mentos hits the surface of the coke, the compressed carbon dioxide forms bubble on the surface of the Mentos. and it is released into the air and pushes the coke out with it. the Mentos can be mint or fruit (I have tested both)
