When Mentos are added to Sprite, a rapid reaction occurs due to the rough surface of the candies, which provides numerous nucleation sites for carbon dioxide bubbles. As the carbon dioxide gas escapes from the liquid, it forms bubbles that quickly rise to the surface, causing an eruption of foam. The reaction is enhanced by the sugar and carbonation in Sprite, leading to an impressive geyser effect. This phenomenon is primarily a physical reaction rather than a chemical one.

Why does it explode when you put Mentos in pepesi and is that a change of matter?

Mentos in Pepsi is a simple chemical reaction. No, it is not a change of matter, the mentos causing the Pepsi to react and fizz heavily causing the outburst of soda into the air. The Pepsi is still a liquid, but the mentos dissolves. Thus a physical change, but still a solid. Hope this helps~ Off Spring.

Would pepsi or Diet Coke make the bigger explosion?

Sprite because: When we did an experiment and put helium balloons on the top of the bottles the sprite had the biggest balloon! (meaning that Sprite had more carbonation and, when Mentos came in contact with the carbonated liquid, breaking surface tension of dissolved bubbles of carbon dioxide, it resulted in more carbon dioxide being released from Sprite than from Diet Coke)
