why dose a fizzy drink and a mint cause an explosion
Carbon dioxide is non-flammable and does not support combustion, so it does not cause an explosion when exposed to flame. In fact, carbon dioxide is often used in fire extinguishers to suppress fires by displacing oxygen and cooling the flames.
It will fizz and bubble and cause a froth explosion
Basically, you are witnessing the Surface Effect. Carbon Dioxide forms bubbles. Diet Coke has more carbon dioxide than other regular sodas. The surface of the "mento" is jagged and filled with nooks and crannies. The Carbon Dioxide finds all of these holes and fills them with bubbles. Since the Mentos are heavy, they drop to the bottom of the bottle, forming bubbles all the way down. This is what causes the fast and furious explosion out of the top of the Diet Coke bottle.
because the mentos has microscopic bumps on its shell, it traps the carbon dioxide and makes it escape a lot quicker than normal. that's why there is that white foamy stuff on the top, because the carbon dioxide(the fizziness) is escaping so quickly.
Only Diet Coke and Mentos will make an explosion, Not Diet Pepsi, Coke Classic, or any other soda will produce an explosion of the same magnitude. that is not true diet root beer (A&W) also works
Mentos are not Vegetarian. They Explode if you put them in a bottle of coke and shake it up. They are a popular sweet product.
Diet coke reacts with mentos because the chemicals in the mentos and cola react to cause the soda's carbon dioxide to quickly turn into a gas an escape from solution. Although the exact nature of the reaction is unknown, it seems to relate to things such as the coating on the mentos and the artificial sweetener in the cola. peanuts In mentos there is sodium and diet coke has carbon dioxide and they are both from the periodic tables and they don't work together.
Drop a Mentos candy into the soda, and a large number of bubbles will form all over the candy at the nucleation sites. As the candy sinks, it passes through more soda and creates more bubbles. Collectively, these bubbles create foam and the pressure necessary to cause an eruption
no
Carbon dioxide is known as a greenhouse gas which cause global warming.
Yes, dropping Mentos into Pepsi Max can cause a dramatic eruption due to a physical reaction. The rough surface of the Mentos candies facilitates rapid release of carbon dioxide gas from the soda, creating a geyser effect. This phenomenon occurs regardless of the soda brand, but the combination of Mentos and diet sodas like Pepsi Max often produces the most explosive results.
No, increases in carbon dioxide in your atmosphere would cause a warming trend.
