Why do Mentos dissolve faster than sweet tarts or smarties in water?
mentos dissolving in water
What is in mentos that make it explode in soda?
Mentos fizz because of the nucleation sites on the surface of the Mentos. These are basically microscopic holes and when it comes into contact with the coke all of the dissolved carbon dioxide condenses and form bubbles that wear away layers of the mentos where more nucleation sites are accessible by the carbon dioxide.
Why does Coke fountain up into the air when Mentos is dropped into it?
The surface of the mentos allows the dissolved carbon dioxide to escape from solution very quickly, and so it foams up and fountains in that way.
Does mentos cool water temp down?
yes it does because of scientific particles in mentos it cools down the water BYE
What happens if you put Mentos in tap water?
Nothing noteworthy happens if mentos are put in tap water; they simply dissolve slowly.
Is mentos bad for your teeth?
Mentos isn't bad for your teeth but still rinse out with water after you eat them
Why does the Mentos and coke reaction die out?
because the surface of the candy is partially dissolved an that removes the factor that causes the eruption
What is the oxygen dissolved in water is a?
The oxygen dissolved in water is a measure of dissolved oxygen (DO).
How do dimples make the the Mentos react with the coke?
the dimply surface in the mentos cause a polar attraction between the water molecules
What is the reactant in coke and mentos?
In the reaction between Coke and Mentos, the primary reactant is the carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the Coke (the beverage). When Mentos candies are added, their rough surface facilitates the rapid release of this gas, leading to a dramatic eruption of foam. The reaction is primarily a physical process rather than a chemical one, as the carbonation rapidly escapes due to the nucleation sites provided by the Mentos.
What erupts better vinegar with baking soda or Diet Coke with mentos?
Bkng soda vinegar is a CHEMICAL reaction, a chemical change occurs giving CO2 and water. The rate depends on the conc. of your vinegar, temperature and the surface area of the soda (fine powder)Mentos/coke is a PHYSICAL reaction, no chemical change occurs (though sugar dissolves and eventually hydrolyses to glucose, but this is incidental). The same thing happens with Mentos and carbonated water.CO2 dissolved in the coke is released by a process called nucleation on the surface of the mentos.A rough surface is better than a smooth one, so this might be a useful area to investigate for your project.The mentos reaction is probably fastest under most conditions, and you can experiment with temperature, acid strength, different types of Mentos (some are smooth and are rubbish), fizzy drinks with different amounts of sugar dissolved, lots of variables are there if you think about it.
Can alka selzer add up to mentos?
Alka-Seltzer and Mentos react differently when combined with liquids. Alka-Seltzer contains citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, which produce carbon dioxide when dissolved in water, creating fizz. Mentos, when dropped into carbonated beverages, causes rapid release of carbon dioxide due to its porous surface. Combining the two may create a vigorous fizz, but they serve different purposes and have different reaction mechanisms.
