because when mentos is added with car bon dioxide it becomes a chemical reaction and soda has carbon dioxide BUT THE MOST SODA THAT WILL GO 20 FEET WILL BE Diet Coke
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.
Yes. Especially when mixed with Diet Coke.
more mentos shake up the soda prior mush up mentos
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
The myth is that Mentos plus soda equals an explosion. The truth is the the soda bubbles up and erupts like a volcano, but does not actually explode.
Noothing is smooth, everything has little "potholes", although they are minisclue and not visible. Mentos have a lot of these little holes in them, where air can get trapped. When dropping a mento into a soda, the air bubbles release, this causes some bubbles to form and exit the bottle. The roughness of the candy also reacts with the gas in the soda, forming more bubbles that are trying to get the the surface. These bubbles form the "geyser".
Maybe a foot. Sodas don't have fins and they have no balance, so they'll go up a little ways, flop over, go back to earth and shoot off horizontally. As to how far it'll go horizontally, it depends on how full the soda was, how large the bottle was and how many Mentos you put in.
yes! put a mentos in it. and shake well. it will blast!
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.
30 feet
Sure, but it is likely to blow up in your face! Wear safety goggles if you try it! Put the candy in the balloon, stretch the balloon over the mouth of the bottle and shake the candy out into the soda. It will release the gases and expand the balloon.
