– Because the temperature of air increases, its volume increases and also the pressure increases.
-Aspartame, caffeine and potassium benzoate are reactants present in soda that boost the height from the reaction.
-Mentos have nucleation sites in which the reaction occurs, where the gas in the reaction forms.

Objective: The aim would be to test the standards affecting the concentration of the response between diet coke and mentos.

Hypothesis: The bigger the amount of mentos, and also the warmer the high temperature from the soda, the greater the response is going to be. It is because the nice and cozy air might have a larger volume and would exert more pressure, which may pressure the soda to some greater height. Also, a bigger quantity of mentos means a bigger quantity of nucleation sites where gasses created through the reaction could form, resulting in an elevated quantity of pressure, along with a greater reaction height.

Procedure
1. Open bottle of soda
2. Place mentos in soda begin a stopwatch once the mentos are dropped in to the soda
3. Record the peak from the reaction
4. Steer clear of the stopwatch once the bubbles stop spilling within the fringe of the pop bottle

Experiment 1: Quantity of Mentos versus Height Duration of Reaction
Independent Variable: # of mentos
Dependent Variable: height and time period of reaction
Controlled Variable: Diet Coke

Mentos Height (cm) Time (s)

Experiment 2: Quantity of Mentos versus Height Duration of Reaction
Independent Variable: temperature of soda
Dependent Variable: height and time period of reaction
Controlled Variable: diet coke, 4 mentos

Experiment 3: Quantity of Mentos versus Height Duration of Reaction
Independent Variable: kind of soda
Dependent Variable: height and time period of reaction
Controlled Variable: 4 mentos

Kind of Soda Height (cm) Time (s)

Ginger root Ale 160 5.

Diet Cherry 7UP 125.

Diet Pepsi 250 8.9

Barge’s Root Beer 170 7.4

Diet Coke 280 8.6

Conclusion: The greater mentos you devote a container of pop doesn’t always mean a bigger explosion. We discovered that the max quantity of mentos using the largest explosion was 4 mentos, it went 350 cm high. With five to six mentos the explosion went only 330 and 310 cm high. It might be the last pops didn’t have just as much reactants or that certain mentos fell from the bottle whenever we attempted to place six in. We tested different types of pop. Apparently , diet coke is the greatest type of pop for that largest explosion. Probably it is because her most artificial sugar with is really a primary reactant within the mentos and pop reaction. The main difference are closely related to various cap sizes or that individuals place the mentos in differently.

Follow-up Questions:

1. So how exactly does age the soda modify the reaction?

2. Wouldso would putting the cap on following the mentos were make the pop and letting pressure develop modify the reaction?

3. Wouldso would cap size modify the explosion height?
