The pressure built up in a Mentos and Coke explosion can vary, but it typically reaches around 2 to 4 psi (pounds per square inch) during the initial reaction. This pressure results from the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas when Mentos candies are added to the soda. While this pressure is relatively low compared to other explosive reactions, it is sufficient to propel the soda several feet into the air due to the rapid gas expansion.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the effect of the mento explosion not as big as the Diet Coke explosion?
The effect of the mento explosion is not as dramatic as the Diet Coke explosion primarily due to the difference in carbonation levels and the amount of gas released. Diet Coke contains a higher concentration of carbon dioxide, which rapidly escapes when the pressure is released, creating a more explosive reaction. Mento candies, while effective in nucleating bubbles, don't produce as much carbonation as the soda itself. Additionally, the surface area of the Mentos provides more nucleation sites but does not generate the same volume of gas as the release from a carbonated beverage.
Can you substitute Diet Coke for regular coke in a mento rocket?
It might work. The dissolved CO2 tends to be released much more readily from Diet Coke, when it gets warmer, or is shaken, or when a catalyst such as a Mentos is added. You may not get a fast enough rate of release from regular coke.

Why do coke and Mentos explode?
The reason Coke and Mentos explode in a frothy fountain of bubbles is due to the process called nucleation. Nucleation is the phenomenon where a dissolved gas in a liquid is able to come out of solution by forming in a crack, crevice, hole, or any small irregularity in the container. The stream of bubbles that can bee seen bubbling to the surface of a glass of champaign is a perfect example; the dissolved gas in the champaign comes out of solution by forming in small irregularities at the bottom of the glass of champaign. Mentos are full of extremely small holes on their surface, giving dissolved gas a place to form and turn into bubbles. When the Mento is dropped into the Coke, millions of bubbles of CO2 form instantaneously on the Mento's surface through nucleation. Thus, much of the dissolved CO2 in the Coke comes out of solution instantaneously and bubbles up to the surface, creating the wonderful fountain of soda that everyone loves!
