Aim - I want to find out what will happen when you drop mentos into a bottle of coke
Method
Equipment
- Mentos
- A bottle of coke
- Flat surface
Instructions
1. Get your equipment
2. Remove the lid of coke
3. Put your bottle of coke on a flat surface
4. Pour the mentos into the coke and sees what happenes
Result
Here is what I would expect it to look like
Conclusion
I can conclude that adding mentos to a bottle of coke will make the coke fizz up and explode and liquid will shoot out of the bottle
Discussion
Coke is full of Carbon dioxide / CO2, when the mentos drops to the bottom it creates lots of bubbles on it's pitted surface on it's way up meaning the surface of the coke is cover in tiny and shallow holes. When gas is released it forces the liquid up and out of the bottle, resulting in the eruption.
