SODA AND MENTOS Physical Science (3rd block) Mythbusters Project Introduction This experiment is to prove the theory that when Mentos is dropped into a bottle of soda the end result is a huge fountain spray of soda from the bottle due to a process called nucleation. Hypothesis If I drop Mentos candy into a bottle of soda‚ then it will create a huge fountain splash. Materials *Regular Mentos Candy (one)

The reaction between Mentos and the diet soda is a physical reaction that occurs when the gas from the inside of the soda attaches itself to the ridges on the outside of the Mentos. This process is called nucleation and this is when the carbon dioxide is attracted to the Mentos and causes pressure in the bottle (EepyBird). Diet Coke and Mentos are not the only things that work soda and anything with at least a little bit of fizz (carbon dioxide) will react it’s just the matter of the Diet Coke

When you combine Diet Coke and Mentos‚ you get an explosive result. The Diet Coke shoots out of the bottle like a miniature sticky geyser. This reaction is so powerful that it could actually propel a rocket‚ but what is the science behind this geyser-creating reaction? (Hiskey) This reaction is caused by the ingredients in the Mentos and Diet Coke. The structure of the Mentos allow carbon dioxide bubbles to form extremely rapidly. When this happens‚ you get the physical reaction of the coke exploding

An experiment by FACUNDO LOPEZ MENTOS GEYSER CARBONATED DRINKS AND MENTOS PROBLEM STATEMENT: WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF MENTOS ON CARBONATED DRINKS? BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The soda contain sweeteners (sugar or artificial sweeteners) flavoring‚ water and preservatives. Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is added to the soda trough a high pressure process that causes the gas to dissolve into the liquid‚ when the soda is opened the gas is relieved

Experimental Question: What will happen if you dropped a mentos candy in a bottle of diet coke? Why do you think so? Abstract: Placing a mentos candy in a bottle of diet coke will cause bubbles to react. Bubbles are formed and it pushes the liquid up and out of the bottle causing an eruption. I became interested in this topic because my friend helped me choose this topic. Background Research: Sodas have a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) Mentos candy has thousands of tiny little holes even though

Title Soda Ash: Great for the economy but detrimental to the body; So why is it involved in everyday life? Abstract Sodium carbonate‚ Na₂CO₃‚ commonly known as soda ash is used in the manufacturing of many economically important products such as the manufacturing of glass‚ chemicals‚ paper and detergents. Since sodium carbonate has a strong base‚ it is commonly used to neutralize acidic effects. Soda ash has a high pH in concentrated solutions and can irritate the eyes and skin as well

Aim To find out the difference of reaction time it takes for the baking soda when it meets the vinegar under the condition that the volume of the vinegar changes. Background Information The two reactants‚ which are baking soda and vinegar‚ react with each other. Then it creates product‚ carbon dioxide‚ water and sodium acetate. The chemical name of vinegar is ethanoic acid and baking soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate. To illustrate this phenomenon as a chemical equation‚ it can be shown as C_2 H_4

Complete research questions 1-5 BEFORE deciding on “YOUR BIG IDEA” . All research questions must be a paragraph for a minimum grade of 70%. All sites must be listed after each question. Why does mixing Mentos with soda produce this incredible eruption? Explain the SCIENCE behind it! Mixing mentos and soda produces this incredible eruption because of something called nucleation. The mentos are attracted to the Carbon Dioxide in the soda. After the mentos create so much pressure in the bottle

Scientists also suspected a possible link of the formation of kidney stones with the consumption of soda. A survey of thousands of people who have previously had kidney stones was conducted. They all drank at least 150 ml of carbonated beverages. Half of the patients were asked to reduce the consumption of drinks twice. After three years of observations it appeared that a new kidney stones three times less likely to be formed among those who began to drink less Cola. For other types of drinks such
