Mentos and soda create an explosion simalar to if you shake a soda bottle. When creation this explosion, be sure to do it outside and use a two liter bottle of soda and as many mentos as you like.
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.
one. i think
Yes the more you put the better. It also works best with diet coke.
i really don't know i was looking for the answer because i am doing it at the science fare at my school please help me out its on our last day of school Thursday i am lucky i know people with school on the Monday after
Mentos look like their real smooth, but really they have lots of little small imperfections all over the surface. If you look at a glass of coke at any stage you can see the bubbles rising through it, if you put your finger into the coke you can see that bubbbles will form all over your finger. This is the carbon dioxide escaping from the coke. By putting a mentos in there all those little imperfections that are on the surface of it allow all the carbon dioxide to come out of solution, because there are so many little voids etc.. the mentos pulls a lot of carbon dioxide out fast and that's why the bottle of coke fizz's up.
one you will need coke
It took 324 mentos
If you put mentos in your mouth for a long enough time without chewing, yuou would soon find that the texture of the mentos changes to a slightly rough surface. The soft layer before that will dissolve in water, like in your mouth. When the mentos is put into the coke, the soft layer is dissolved off. The rough sorface of the mentos releases the carbon dioxide dissolved inside the coke (H2CO3), but the mentos is small, and can only hold a little ammount of the carbon dioxide. But once the carbon dioxide is released, this reaction cannot be reversed, all the excess carbon dioxide rushes out. This set-up will work best on diet coke because it contains no sugar to act as impurities.
no i did the experiment. the pop rocks just float to the top and the mentos fizz up the soda depending on the type of soda
You need to put in the whole box or roll but place them in a tube so that they go in all at once.
Only about 100.
