The way that this works is that when the mentos enter the soda they sink to the bottom and starts the reaction. The reaction has started when the bubbles start reaching the top and they can't mix with oxygen.
mentos or you shake it
The reaction between Mentos (containing nucleation sites) and soda (containing carbon dioxide) is a physical reaction that causes the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas. This reaction is not a chemical reaction, so there is no balanced chemical equation for it.
because when mentos is added with car bon dioxide it becomes a chemical reaction and soda has carbon dioxide BUT THE MOST SODA THAT WILL GO 20 FEET WILL BE DIET COKE
A chemical Reaction the mentos mix with the acid causing foaming the pressure gets to much and bursts the bottle
because a chemical reaction happens to make it explode
I strongly believe diet coke has a stronger reaction to mentos!
The reaction between Mentos and soda is primarily a physical reaction rather than a chemical one, resulting in an exothermic process. When Mentos are added to soda, the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas creates a vigorous eruption, releasing energy in the form of heat. This is due to the nucleation sites on the surface of the Mentos facilitating the rapid escape of dissolved gas from the liquid.
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.
Well, lemon juice and baking soda do have an acid and base reaction. Lemon juice is citric acid, whereas vinegar does not come from a fruit so it is not, They do both make a reaction but lemon juice and baking soda does make a bigger reaction. It all depends on the PH levels of the lemon juice and/or vinegar. For the mentos it depends on what type of mentos you are using. Like for example, in Japan, they have green tea flavored mentos, which does not make a big reaction. If you're just using regular old school mentos then the reaction is very big! I hope I gave you some information about chemistry.
When you do the soda thing, slide mentos into the 2liter bottle of soda, when i goes off make sure your standing back. The explosion will not harm you from the inside or out.
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.
The reaction between Mentos and Coca-Cola is primarily a physical reaction rather than a chemical one. When Mentos are dropped into Coke, the rough surface of the candies facilitates rapid nucleation, allowing carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the soda to form bubbles quickly. This sudden release of gas creates an explosive fountain of foam, as the pressure from the carbonation forces the liquid out of the bottle. The combination of the candy's ingredients and the soda's carbonation enhances this effect.
