Hello and welcome to episode 6 of Mouniirah's experiments. Today's experiment is a classic. You probably heard about it many times. And me too, haha. So, I went to the store and bought whatever was necessary. If you're also interested in seeing for yourself what happened when you put Mentos® + Coke” together, just grab your ingredients as well and have fun!
⚠️ Caution: Better do this experiment outdoor.
What you will need:
A bottle of coke (better use diet coke)
A package of Mentos®
A test tube
Instructions:
Put 12 Mentos candies in a test tube and place it at the opening of the bottle,
If you don't have a tube, don't worry, I didn't either. Just make sure you can put all your candies in the bottle as quickly as possible.
When you're ready, just let the mentos® fall into the coke and watch the result!
How it works:
This reaction comes from the sudden release of carbon dioxide, the gas that gives soda its bubbles. This carbon dioxide normally remains dissolved in the soda because there are no nucleation sites-irregularities around which bubbles can form. Seen close up, a single Mento has a craggy surface-providing hundreds of nucleation sites. A dozen of those candies dumped in at once sets off a massive release of carbon dioxide, forcing the cola out of the bottle.
PS: Don't mind our voices, it's part of the process lol.

It wasn't as impressive as we expected, partly cos we didn't get all the necessary but we still had fun tho. Let me know in the comments if you ever tried it and how it was or if you plan to. Thanks for watching! May God bless you, take care.
