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.
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
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.
acid
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.
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.
No

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
no!!! as long as you drink water once in a while...
it takes 30 min for it to freeze
Diet Coke is effective at cleaning a penny due to its acidity, primarily from phosphoric acid, which can help dissolve tarnish and oxidation on the surface of the penny. Additionally, the carbonation in Diet Coke can create a mild abrasive effect that aids in lifting grime. Compared to other liquids, Diet Coke's unique combination of acids and carbonation makes it particularly effective for this purpose. However, while it can clean a penny, it's not a recommended cleaning method for coins due to potential long-term damage.
