Why do Mentos and soda create a geyser?

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".


How high does sprite shoot up in the air if you put Mentos in it?

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.

What happens when you put Mentos in a can of soda?

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.

How does Mentos and soda pop a balloon?

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.
