because it has carbonation which also means "fizz". the mentos has a co2 molecule that changes into gas.
I strongly believe diet coke has a stronger reaction to mentos!
If 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.
If you combine Mentos and Diet Coke, you could get a big boom. The coke will react with the mentos, making a chemical reaction together and create the giant explosion.
Diet Coke and Mentos create a vigorous physical reaction rather than a chemical double replacement reaction. When Mentos candies are added to Diet Coke, the rough surface of the Mentos disrupts the liquid's surface tension and allows carbon dioxide gas that is dissolved in the soda to rapidly escape, resulting in an explosive fountain of foam. This reaction is primarily a physical one involving nucleation, not a chemical reaction where bonds are broken and formed.
Diet Coke's aspartame contributes to the reaction, but any carbonated liquid will produce some effect.
Diet Coke
Diet Coke and Mentos produce the largest spectacle.
a two liter bottle of Diet Coke 2 rolls of Mentos mints 1 piece of 8x10 inch paper, like construction paper tape
mentos
The best type of Coke for a Mentos explosion is Diet Coke. Its lower viscosity and higher carbonation levels create a more vigorous reaction when Mentos are added, resulting in a taller and more impressive geyser. Regular Coke can also work, but Diet Coke tends to produce the most dramatic effects.
Because the chemicals in diet coke react with the chemicals in the mentos, Normal coke has the same chemicals that mentos has, that is why you need to have a positive and negative to react, Normal coke and mentos is positive and positive.
