The reaction between Sour Skittles and Diet Coke is due to the presence of citric acid in the Sour Skittles. Citric acid is a weak organic acid commonly used as a flavoring agent in sour candies. When the Sour Skittles are dropped into Diet Coke, which contains carbon dioxide gas, the citric acid reacts with the carbon dioxide to produce carbon dioxide bubbles. This reaction creates a fizzy, bubbling effect, causing the Sour Skittles to "explode" or fizz when placed in the Diet Coke.

Do Skittles disslove in Diet Coke faster or regular coke?

Skittles tend to dissolve faster in Diet Coke compared to regular Coke. This is primarily due to the absence of sugar in Diet Coke, which allows the candy's coating to break down more quickly. The carbonation in both beverages also plays a role, but the sugar content in regular Coke can slow down the dissolution process. Overall, the chemical composition of Diet Coke makes it more effective at dissolving Skittles.

No but I am pretty sure that if you put a mentos in it then close the lid really fast then shake it up it will definetely explode! Not explode. it fizzes up to the point in which the bottle cant hold the extra gases produced making the top shoot off. and no Diet coke will not explode if sugar is added
