no i did the experiment. the pop rocks just float to the top and the mentos fizz up the soda depending on the type of soda
It pretty much means when you put a Mento into a carbonated drink (coca-cola), it has a chemical reaction and it goes BOOM.
no because its most likely to explode at extreme temperatures
They have so much water inside that when it reaches boilng temperature it explodes.
In 3rd grade, i remember i had done an expirement with flowers. We put some in dirt, water, soda, and sand. The plant grew best in dirt, but we watered it in WATER. In a nutshell: Put a plant in dirst, but water it with water, if you want it to grow!
Soda makes smarties dissolve because the acid molecules gets to the sugar in the smarties, therefore, that much interaction and energy soon die down in the smarties and fade away (dissolve). It disolves because it is suger? I really do not know why! smaties are a soft compound and carbon in soda breaks the cels apart like acid. facts: soda makes the botom of your toungue sting but only for sec.
put mento candy inside the can, and shake it up
eighther than drinking it you could put a mento into it to make it explode.
When you drop a Mentos candy into a bottle of soda like Dr. Pepper, the carbon dioxide gas in the soda attaches to the rough surface of the candy, causing rapid release of bubbles. This creates a fizzing reaction that forces the soda out of the bottle in an explosive manner.
first you put the baking soda in the model then you put in the vinigar and watch it explode into a million peices
When you put dry spaghetti in a mixture of vinegar and baking soda, it will make the spaghetti float! I wouldn't eat the pasta, however!
If normal peanuts are put in normal lemonade, then no.
Adding baking soda causes bubbling or effervescence.
you can get a two litter and put a mint in it to make it explode.
What you want to do is put mentos mints in a soda bottle and if it doesnt explode then shake it
because a chemical reaction happens to make it explode
Soda "explodes" because of the breakdown of Carbonic Acid into Carbon Dioxide and Water. H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2. But the reaction needs "nucleation sites" to get started; generally these consist of insoluble impurities, or previously created bubbles of Carbon Dioxide. When cold soda is opened slowly, bubbles form, but they generally rise and pop before the reaction can cause any "explosion". Shaking the soda introduces gas bubbles, which provide many more nucleation sites. Increasing the temperature speeds up the reaction. Mints have a very high surface area due to their roughness, and provide a huge amount of nucleation sites. Grinding them into powder first will increase the effect. Using activated carbon instead of mints would probably be even better, but it wouldn't taste as good afterwards. See Related Links
yes depended on the brand and carbonation. that is put into it in the manufaction process.
