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 ideaIf you put a mentos in the diet coke and put it on the microwave, it will cause a chemical reaction causing your microwave to explode.
diet coke the ingredients they put in with the diet coke reacts faster then regular coke.
It depends how big the bottle of coke is that you put the mentos in. There is no specific height
same as if it happens with cold coke, it explodes into a fountain of coke!
put the mentos in when you want it to fizz....or you can try tape. put the mentos on the tape the stick it to the edge of the opening then throw it and itll fizz. make sure the mentos dosnt touch the coke before you throw it.
to make an volcano explode you have to put diet coke into the bottle the put some red food colouring in the diet coke so it looks like lava then put some mentos in the diet coke then sit back and watch.
run big explosion will happen 1 or 2 mentos in 2 litter diet coke bottle = BOOm chemical reaction!!!!
use diet coke with mentos. dump sum out and stick mentos on tape and put it in there . shake and open
it burns! dont put it in because it ruins your mouth inside and out..
You get a 2 litres of coke (Diet Coke works the best) and leave the cap off in an large, open area and put three~four of mentos (mint ones are better than fruit flavoured ones) in and then it will make a coke geyser.
Yes the more you put the better. It also works best with diet coke.
No but it does need carbon dioxide and oxygen, be sure that IMMEDIATELY after you drop the mentos in, you put your mouth over the bottle opening and blow.
