Soda Fizz With Mentos Research

Sprite is a type of soda that many people drink but how can it handle an Alacelzer. It doesn’t have a color and is flavored lime and lemon created by the coca cola company. Its made of carbon water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural flavors, and sodium benzoate. To get an idea of what this is really made up of I will tell you what each ingredient is. Carbonated water is water that has carbon dioxide dissolved into it as a gas. High fructose is something sweetener that is made from corn starch. Citric acid is a weak organic acid that keep in mind is used in this soda sprite. It gives the drink or food taste to it. Natural flavoring is when there is a flavor in a food that has come from another food to make that food taste good.

This paper is a Science Fair Project about Coke and Mentos Reaction. This essay is not going to tell you about the experiment but rather background information on the subject. The background information is about Mentos reacting in Coke.

The purpose of this project was to find out if there is a difference in the strength of different types of hair. I wanted to see if color or chemicals made a difference. My hypothesis was that blonde hair was stronger than brown hair and chemically treated hair. Individual strands of hair were collected from 30 female subjects. I tied one end to a hair hanging device and the other to a baggie. I added pennies into the bag until the strands broke, which is how I determined their strength. My testing showed that brown hair was the strongest and held an average of 27.9 pennies. Chemically treated hair held an average of 14.9 pennies and blonde

The Mentos and soda react due to nucleation. When the carbon dioxide from the soda mixes with the Mentos, the carbon dioxide is squeezed into liquid it’s looking for a way out. It’s trying to hook on to it can and those things are nucleation sites. Since the Mentos are coated with A TON of sugar that is also contains tons and tons of nucleation sites which causes pressure to build up and BAM It explodes.

The purpose of this lab was to determine if lima beans would be able to grow nice and big in gatorade. The hypothesis stated, if we put the lima bean in the gatorade then it will grow really big, fast because gatorade contains of electrolytes that might affect the lima beans growth. The hypothesis turned out to be disapproved because the lima beans average length in the water/ control starting from day 1 was 17.5 mm, 25.4 mm, 42mm, and 44mm. The lima beans average length in the gatorade was 17mm, 22.6mm, and by day 3, the lima beans grew mold. In addition to that, The total mass of the lima bean in the control was greater than the bean in the variable. The lima bean in the control’s total mass was 5.25g, 9g, 11.9g, and 20.5g. The lima bean

It is hypothesized that if you use big ice cubes then, more fizz will form.

Hypothesis: if I light the candles at the same time then the unscented candle will burn faster because of its properties. Control Group: The control group is the unscented candle. Independent Variable: The independent variable is the unscented candle and the scented candle (black cherry). Dependent Variable: The dependent variable is the time (30 minutes)

The purpose of this lab was to find out how the amount of time that has elapsed affect the position of the car away from the point of origin. Our hypothesis was if the time elapsed is longer, then the car is going to be further away from the point of origin. In this lab the independent variable-what you are changing is time. The dependent variable-what you are measuring is how far the car is from the point of origin after a certain amount of time (3 seconds, 6 seconds, and 9 seconds). The controls-things that stay the same throughout the whole lab is the car we used, the meter stick that we measured in centimeters with, and the 40 centimeters of tape that we used to mark the position of the car. Materials we used was a car, 40 centimeters of

The reason for conducting this experiment was to find out if colored pencils can be more dangerous than a regular, wooden pencil. The hypothesis states that if the lead in a colored pencils is exposed to flame then it will be more flammable than the lead in a regular wooden pencil. The independent variable was the brand of the colored pencil. The dependent variable was the flammability of the colored pencil’s lead. The flammability of the colored pencil will be measured by mass to see which one changed in mass the most. The colored pencil will be weighed to see how many grams it is. After lighting flame to the colored pencil, it will be weighed again to see how much the mass changed. The results of this experiment were very similar. In each

People have wondered for a long time, why do Mentos and coke have a huge reaction. People do experiments on it and test it or they just do it for fun. Some people make little cars and test the experiment on them, seeing how far a car will go if it was propelled by the soda and Mentos. But first, if they want to test the soda and Mentos powered car, they might want to know a couple things about the reaction and some things that can help their car go faster or they need to know the laws of motion or the pressure in the soda and Mentos.

Most people see the famous soda and Mentos eruption and think it has something to do with chemistry or that it is a chemical reaction. Well, this is completely wrong because the reaction is actually a physical reaction. Unlike a physical reaction, a chemical reaction is a process that rearranges the molecular or ionic structure of a substance. That is different from a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction, which is a physical reaction. The reason the soda and Mentos reaction is a physical reaction instead of a chemical reaction is because the physical form of a carbon dioxide molecule is being changed to a bubble.

Why do Diet Coke & Mentos and Coke Zero & Mentos create such exciting geysers?

I am researching,”Does the type of soda effect the amount of fizz that comes out of a can with mentos” . According to “ Diet coke and mentos; Why the reaction” it says that the Ingredients in the mentos effect the reaction because inside the mentos it has Potassium Benzoate and aspartame. Mentos have Potassium Benzoate and Aspartame to make the soda fizz and the carbon inside the soda makes the fizz pack together and it tries escape the can. The bubbles inside the soda is carbon dioxide and when the carbon dioxide mixes with the mentos it causes the fizz to mount up and it escapes the can. The Potassium Benzoate and Aspartame reduces the amount of work required to form bubbles in the carbonated soda.

Physical changes occur everywhere from cutting a sheet of paper to making a fun activity such as the Mentos/Diet Coke reaction. A physical change will change the appearance of a substance without changing its composition (Glencoe, 76). In this paper, I will describe what causes the Mentos/Diet Coke reaction, what increases the Mentos/Diet Coke reaction, and what decreases Mentos/Diet Coke reaction.

You have probably seen the coke and Mentos experiments on the internet and wondered “what causes for the explosion to happen?” You might think that Mentos has something in it that might cause the explosion, but it actually has a lot of sugar on it, with a very rough surface (microscopically). Because of this It give a Mentos plenty of nucleation sites, which means, that the bubbles, or carbonation, has something to attach. Though one might think the explosion from a Mentos dropped into a soda is a chemical reaction but it is actually a physical reaction meaning that all the elements are all there.
