Does Mentos mint gum make coke explode?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Drop a Mentos candy into the soda, and a large number of bubbles will form all over the candy at the nucleation sites. As the candy sinks, it passes through more soda and creates more bubbles. Collectively, these bubbles create foam and the pressure necessary to cause an eruption

What is in soda that makes a soda geyser?

You need a diet coke , a straw and some mentos .First, open the diet coke. Then ,put the straw inside .After that , put a mentos inside quickly and run away because it will flash on you if you are at the place. It is very exciting because it will flash very high if put a lot of mentos inside .

Why does it happen? Just because the diet coke won't have alot of sugar and if it touch some sweet things suddenly , it will be a diet coke geyser.

What do mints have in them to make pop explode?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The chemical reaction causes the Diet Coke to foam at a rapid rate and "explode" into the air. Mint is used instead of fruit-flavor Mentos because fruit flavored Mentos have a smooth coating which slows the reaction.

Asked by Wiki User

Mentos will dissolve into any water-based liquid - including ice tea. It won't be as spectacular as if they are dropped into a bottle of coke - but it will be pretty obvious they are dissolving.

Why do the Mentos blow up in the coke?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Menthos does "blow up" with Coke. It would do the same with any carbonated drink. The reason a carbonated drink container may be seen to erupt in a fountain of bubbles is due to the rapid release of carbon dioxide. The release is due to small roughness on the Mentos' surface causing gas bubbles to "seed" and the formation of bubbles to proceed rapidly. Rapid release of Carbon Dioxide will cause bubbles and an increased pressure and resulting blow up.

It is worth adding a comment about the Mentos hoax around the Internet.
The action has nothing to do with chemical reactions but is a physical process. It doesn't pose risk to person who consumes Coke with Mentos. Fizzing is normally felt in the mouth when drinking Coke and is sign of the carbonation releasing carbon dioxide from the drink. The addition of Mentos speeds up the process and would not do any harm from the gas itself. Of course, one may imagine an extraordinary circumstance where someone would finished the whole bottle of carbonated beverage without burping and with all gas still in liquid. For such case, dropping Mentos down the throat while sealing the mouth might pose a threat. (It is unimaginable that someone would go that far for such self torture). The danger of Mentos with Coke is a hoax. See related link.

Why is pop in Mentos a chemical change?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When mentos touches the pop, it forms bubbles on the mentos, eating away the coating and the carbon dioxide mixes with it making fizz as it breaks it down.

Why do Mentos and soda create a geyser?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Noothing is smooth, everything has little "potholes", although they are minisclue and not visible. Mentos have a lot of these little holes in them, where air can get trapped. When dropping a mento into a soda, the air bubbles release, this causes some bubbles to form and exit the bottle. The roughness of the candy also reacts with the gas in the soda, forming more bubbles that are trying to get the the surface. These bubbles form the "geyser".
