Does Mentos mint gum make coke explode?

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

Can you use soda and mints to make an eruption?

Yes, you can create a fizzy eruption by combining soda and mints. Dropping mints (such as Mentos) into a carbonated soda like Coke or Sprite causes a rapid release of carbon dioxide bubbles, resulting in a foamy explosion. It's a fun and simple science experiment to try at home!


When Mentos are dropped into soda is it the abraic gum and acidity that makes the chemical reaction fizz up?

When adding the candy Mentos to a carbonated soda there is an amazing explosion. The explosion is best when using diet coke because the aspartame and potassium benzoate of the soda mixing with the arabic gum and gelatin of the candy causes the soda to explode out of the two liter container. Th ephenomenon is apparently caused by a surface catalysis of the production of carbon dioxide from the soda drink- the surface of mint Mentos is said to be ideal. The other agets are good for producing a nice foam.


How does Mentos and soda pop a balloon?

Sure, but it is likely to blow up in your face! Wear safety goggles if you try it! Put the candy in the balloon, stretch the balloon over the mouth of the bottle and shake the candy out into the soda. It will release the gases and expand the balloon.
