The reaction between Mentos and Diet Coke occurs almost instantly upon contact. When the Mentos candies are dropped into the Diet Coke, a rapid release of carbon dioxide gas is triggered, resulting in a vigorous eruption that can shoot soda several feet into the air. This reaction typically takes just a few seconds to reach its peak.

Will Mentos dissolve in coke?

Mentos do dissolve but they realease Co2 which creates pressure in excess with the Co2 in diet coke (the thing that makes the bubbly feeling in your mouth is Co2) Which is why the stuff overflows and explodes.


What experiment could you make?

see how long u can open your eyes for then record your results or classic diet coke and mentos or dry ice in a swimming pool


Will coke and Mentos still explode after you transfer the coke from one bottle to another?

Yes, Coke and Mentos will still produce an explosive reaction after transferring the Coke from one bottle to another, as long as the carbonation is intact. The reaction occurs when the Mentos are dropped into the Coke, causing rapid nucleation that releases the dissolved carbon dioxide gas. However, if the Coke is shaken excessively during the transfer, it may lose some carbonation, potentially reducing the intensity of the explosion.


How long does it take for mentos and coke to react?

The reaction between Mentos and Coke occurs almost instantaneously upon contact, leading to a rapid release of carbon dioxide gas that creates a vigorous eruption. Within seconds, you can see the fountain-like effect as the gas escapes. The entire reaction typically lasts for about 30 seconds, but the most dramatic part happens in the first few moments.

When you put the Mentos which coke makes it explode?

If you put mentos in your mouth for a long enough time without chewing, yuou would soon find that the texture of the mentos changes to a slightly rough surface. The soft layer before that will dissolve in water, like in your mouth. When the mentos is put into the coke, the soft layer is dissolved off. The rough sorface of the mentos releases the carbon dioxide dissolved inside the coke (H2CO3), but the mentos is small, and can only hold a little ammount of the carbon dioxide. But once the carbon dioxide is released, this reaction cannot be reversed, all the excess carbon dioxide rushes out. This set-up will work best on diet coke because it contains no sugar to act as impurities.


What soda has more sugar than Diet Coke?

Since Diet Coke has NO sugar, any other soda has more sugar than it does, so long as it's a soda and not a diet drink.


Does leaving Diet Coke in the sun for too long turn it into acid?

How long does it take for the coke to shoot up when you drop Mentos in it?

What happens if you put mentos in a Diet Coke?

A Soda FountainMentos contains a chemical known as arabic gum (this is the ingredient that makes the mint "chewy"). This ingredient causes the surface tension of the water molecules to break even more easily, releasing carbon dioxide gas. However, this is not the primary reason for the release of carbon dioxide gas . If you look at a Mentos with a powerful microscope, you will see that it has a very rough surface, that looks somewhat like pumice. This bumpy surface attracts the carbon dioxide in the diet coke to the point where a bubble forms, at which point it's released and rises to the top of the coke. Multiply this by a couple million times around the entire Mentos, and you have a fountain!See Related Links for a demonstration & practical joke idea
