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~

If you combine lemon juice and baking soda would it make a bigger chemical reaction than vinegar and baking soda diet coke and mentos?

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.

Why does mint Mentos work better with Diet Coke than fruit Mentos?

The bubbling action that occurs from dropping a mentos into a diet coke occurs because the high quantities of carbon dioxide held within the soda react with the candy.

The candy's shell is actually comprised of many extremely small pits in which the CO2 forms in a process called nucleation. The diet coke has 7 times more CO2 than can be easily dissolved into water at regular atmospheric pressures. Increasing the pressure on the liquid allows it to dissolve more CO2. This CO2, once released from its high pressure tank is trying to escape its watery prison. With the addition of the mentos, the opportunity of a lifetime presents itself, and all of the CO2 escapes the water in a short amount of time often with explosive results.

The only difference that could be ascertained would be that the fruit mentos lack the same number of pits available with the mint mentos, resulting in a slower release of CO2, which in turn causes a smaller explosion.

Can you die from eating Mentos and coke?
