Diet Coke is the most reactive soda with Mentos due to its higher concentration of carbon dioxide and lack of sugar to hinder the reaction. The carbon dioxide bubbles in the Diet Coke attach to the microscopic pits on the Mentos surface, creating a rapid release of gas that results in a large fountain.
What else can I help you with?
Which is the most reactive of the halogens and why is it the most reactive of the halogens?
fluorine is the most reactive
Why does soda explode when you put mints in it?
Soda "explodes" because of the breakdown of Carbonic Acid into Carbon Dioxide and Water. H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2. But the reaction needs "nucleation sites" to get started; generally these consist of insoluble impurities, or previously created bubbles of Carbon Dioxide. When cold soda is opened slowly, bubbles form, but they generally rise and pop before the reaction can cause any "explosion". Shaking the soda introduces gas bubbles, which provide many more nucleation sites. Increasing the temperature speeds up the reaction. Mints have a very high surface area due to their roughness, and provide a huge amount of nucleation sites. Grinding them into powder first will increase the effect. Using activated carbon instead of mints would probably be even better, but it wouldn't taste as good afterwards. See Related Links

What happens when you put mintos in soda?
What happens is that the soda explodes and the hole place is covered in soda. this creates a chemical reaction or somthing...idk, try it ^.^
Why is baking soda better than mentos?
Baking soda (NaHCO3) release carbon dioxide and is largely used in the kitchen and food industry from many time.The experiment with Mintos has any importance for the preparation of breads, cakes, confectionery etc.
What are things except teeth that dissolve in soda?

What happens if you mix mintos with cola?
Ive Tried it , what happens is the build up of the fiz (when you shake up a soda) plus the fiz in the minto will cause it to rise up quikly and it explodes everywhere!
What was the first cigarette called?
paulos mintos
