Diet cola explodes (or at least fountains) when mints are added because the mint provides a surface for bubbles of carbon dioxide to exit solution in the cola all at once. The result is a large amount of gas produced in a relatively short space of time, creating the explosion/fountain effect.
well on a mint or mentoes there are microscopic bowls on the mint which causes carbon dioxide and causes the reaction and then the explosion.
The coke, an acid, reacts chemically with the mint, which is an Alkali. This reaction produces CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) which causes the coke to fizz.
because it does chemical reaction
Which mint makes the coke explode the biggest?
Mentos!!
because its AWESOME
No, it will not explode. The reaction is more subtlecausing the drink to fizz.
because its AWESOME
The chemicals inside them both when you shake it!:)
they don't Mentos do
I believe mint Mentos, and diet coke (or a beverage with aspartame). Mythbusters claim that table salt works very well too!
Due to the chemicals in Coke :)
when the Mentos hits the surface of the coke, the compressed carbon dioxide forms bubble on the surface of the Mentos. and it is released into the air and pushes the coke out with it. the Mentos can be mint or fruit (I have tested both)
It explodesAre you talking about a mint such as Mentos? If so, the mint won't actually explode. When the mint (usually mint-flavoured) is dropped into the Coca-Cola (usually diet coke), the rough surface on the mint is filled with CO2 (carbon dioxide found in the coke). The rough surface has many small holes which allow the CO2 to gather and create a tremendous amount of foam. The rough surface eventually starts to wear off, resulting in less foam.
I can't remember, BUT I can tell you there's an episode of this experiment on MythBusters.
