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!

What chemical reaction happens when you put mentos in Diet Coke?
When Mentos are dropped into Diet Coke, a rapid physical reaction occurs rather than a chemical one. The surface of the Mentos candy is covered in tiny pits, which facilitate the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the soda. This causes an explosive eruption of foam as the gas escapes quickly, resulting in the iconic geyser effect. The reaction is enhanced by the absence of sugar in Diet Coke, which allows for a more vigorous release of gas compared to regular soda.
Does it matter how many Mentos are in a pop bottle?
Yes the more you put the better. It also works best with diet coke.
