Any carbonated soda with bubbles should react since the reaction is caused by a buildup of carbon in tiny pits on the surface of uncolored/unwaxed mentos. If you use a waxed/smooth version of the candy it will not have a good reaction to ANY soda, because the pits will be filled or fewer.
What else can I help you with?
Does tic tacs and coke react the same way as Mentos and coke?
Yes, if you have the cap on and let it set a couple minutes. It is a volcano
Does adding Mentos to soda pop create the same reaction?
you have to shake it up your bum hole first
Will sour skittles explode Mentos?
Sour Skittles will not cause an explosion like Mentos do with soda. The reaction that creates the explosive fizz is specifically due to the rough surface of Mentos candy interacting with carbonated beverages, leading to rapid gas release. Sour Skittles, while they may have a tangy coating, do not have the same physical properties to trigger such a reaction. Therefore, they will not explode in the same way.
Does rock salt and soda have the same reaction of soda and Mentos?
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.
What else can cause a diet pepsi explosion like the Mentos kind what can you use other then Mentos?
Only Diet Coke and Mentos will make an explosion, Not Diet Pepsi, Coke Classic, or any other soda will produce an explosion of the same magnitude. that is not true diet root beer (A&W) also works
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 you drink soda and eat Mentos 3 hours apart?
You can drink soda and eat Mentos at the same time, if you want. It will not kill you.
Why does Mentos make the coke react?
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. This is why the reaction is not repeatable with the same coke or a flat coke.
Which soda would stay fizzy the longest brandnamed sodas or generic sodas?
Typically, brand-name sodas will stay fizzy longer than generic sodas due to the higher quality ingredients and better carbonation process used in their production. Brand-name sodas are also typically packaged in materials that better retain carbonation.
What Mentos make soda explode?
The soda is packed with loads of bubbles that want to get out of the liquid. To do so they need to form bubbles around something like a spec of dirt or a tiny dent in the bottle. That's why you see bubbles forming from the same places in glasses of soda.A mentos has a very rough surface (on a microscopic scale) so when you put it in all the millions of bubbles suddenly form on the mint creating loads of gas which has to go somewhere. So it blasts out the top of the drinks bottle. It works with any rough surfaced material like chalk, not just mentos.
If a reaction in one direction releases energy the same reaction in the other direction will what?
If a reaction in one direction releases energy, then the same reaction in the other direction will absorb the same amount of energy. This is because energy is conserved in a reversible reaction, with the release and absorption of energy being equal and opposite.
Can you use any other mints other than Mentos for a soda geyser?
Yes, you can use other types of mints besides Mentos for a soda geyser, but not all mints will produce the same effect. The key is to use mints that have a similar porous texture and surface area, which facilitates the rapid release of carbon dioxide from the soda. Some alternatives include other brands of mint candies that are chewy and have a similar composition, like certain types of breath mints. However, the classic Mentos are often the most effective due to their unique ingredients and structure.
