Mentos (candy)

The Coke and Mentos experiment is a physical reaction and not a chemical one because the chemical compounds involved are not changed. No "chemistry" happens, but only "physics" occurs. Let's look. Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is dissolved in the Coke, and when the cap is removed, it begins to come out of solution and form bubbles. There is a complex issue regarding exactly where a bubble will form and how it will grow, but bubbles do form and grow. Dump in some Mentos and the surface of each of the Mentos provides a "zillion" sites for bubbles to form. They form quickly, then detach, and more bubbles quickly form. This results in a cascade of bubble formation and the dramatic result we see. And it's all about the CO2 coming out of solution and making bubbles rapidly. Those bubbles carry Coke with them to the top of the bottle as they make their way out, and we see the fountain form. The Mentos and Coke are unchanged, just as the CO2 is unchanged in this physicalreaction.
The reaction of Diet Coke and Mentos is a physical reaction. Links can be found below to learn more.

Quite simply, just pump it full of air until it blows up. Blowing up a watermelon is lot like conducting a science experiment on air pressure.

According to Wikipedia:

"The Internet phenomenon appears to have begun with a story NPR's David Kestenbaum and Michele Norris did in April, 2006 on the Diet Coke and Mentos stunt."

I say mentoes (toes - those little things on your feet).

You need at least 1. And, it depends what kind of pop you are using. Diet coke produces the best results because it has the most Carbon Dioxide gas in it, and that means that the rough surface and the pores on the Mentos candies will get filled up with the Diet Coke carbon dioxide gas. Right after Diet Coke comes Pepsi, and on and on.

Because the normal soda that does react has a larger ammount of carbonation in it.

Sugar, wheat glucose syrup, hydrogenated coconut oil, citric acid, rice starch, gum arabic, gellan gum, sucrose esters of fatty acids, natural and artificial flavors, colors (beta-carotene, beetroot, red), carnauba wax, & beeswax.

Diet coke because it has the most chemicals and bad stuff in it along with coke.

A chemical Reaction

the mentos mix with the acid causing foaming the pressure gets to much and bursts the bottle

Any important difference; it is a question of taste for each person.

Poland dates back to 6th century with it's very first settlement, city of Gniezno. However it remained a pagan country until 966 A.D. when it was christened on occasion of Mieszko I being baptized before getting married.

it will explode everywhere and fizz

yes

14

Not usually, no.

me

A pack of mentos weighs 38 grams. In that pack there are 14 mints. So 38/14=2.714

So therefore ech mentos weighs 2.7 grams

Yes any it is so cool :-);-) Hope i helped
