When Mentos candies are dropped into a bottle of Pepsi, a rapid release of carbon dioxide gas occurs, creating an explosive fountain of soda. This reaction is primarily due to the porous surface of the Mentos, which provides nucleation sites for the gas bubbles to form quickly. The combination of the candy's ingredients and the carbonation in the soda enhances the reaction, leading to the dramatic geyser effect. The phenomenon is a popular demonstration of physical chemistry principles.

Why does it explode when you put Mentos in pepesi and is that a change of matter?

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.

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.
