Diet cola explodes (or at least fountains) when mints are added because the mint provides a surface for bubbles of carbon dioxide to exit solution in the cola all at once. The result is a large amount of gas produced in a relatively short space of time, creating the explosion/fountain effect.
Which mint makes the coke explode the biggest?
Mentos!!
because its AWESOME
because its AWESOME
No, it will not explode. The reaction is more subtlecausing the drink to fizz.
The chemicals inside them both when you shake it!:)
I believe mint Mentos, and diet coke (or a beverage with aspartame). Mythbusters claim that table salt works very well too!
Due to the chemicals in Coke :)
when the Mentos hits the surface of the coke, the compressed carbon dioxide forms bubble on the surface of the Mentos. and it is released into the air and pushes the coke out with it. the Mentos can be mint or fruit (I have tested both)
yes, but why?
I can't remember, BUT I can tell you there's an episode of this experiment on MythBusters.
Yes it can but it isn't 100% the same
