Why diet coke?
Carbon Dioxide
Reaction
How do bubbles form
Essential Takeaway
100
diet coke has these predetermined conditions which make it better for the reaction
What is a high concentration of CO2 held in suspension by the soda's surface tension?
100
CO2 is this type of molecule.
What is non-polar?
100
This is a chemical reaction, true or false.
What is False?
100
Where CO2 molecules first go during the reaction
What is a nucleation site?
100
Diet coke works well because of this
What is low surface tension, density, and inter molecular force?
200
the predetermined conditions work well with mentos because of this
What is the bumpy surface of a mento that allows for many nucleation sites on its surface.
200
Carbon Dioxide has these types of bonds
What are double bonds?
200
These are the places where CO2 goes and reactions take place.
What are nucleation sites?
200
The place where CO2 molecules gather to eventually form bubbles
What is a nucleation site?
200
Henry's law tells us this.
What is that solubility of a solution based on pressure and temperature?
300
surface tension play a role in the reaction because of this
What is the bubbles can escape the liquid easier due to a lower surface tension?

300
Henry's law tells us this about equilibrium.
What is that it is disrupted when pressure is released from a liquid?
300
This law states that the solubility of a liquid is directly related to the pressure and temperature acting on it.
What is Henry's law?
300
The bubbles form because of this
What is that groups of CO2 molecules group together?
400
the density of diet coke plays this role in the reaction
What is the Mentos break apart the intermolecular forces easier and cause the CO2 to group together faster?
400
When CO2 gets into groups, this happens.
What is bubbles form and it breaks inter-molecular forces of water to get out of the water.
400
The mento does this to make a giant explosion.
What is provide a nucleation site for the CO2?
400
The radius that, if passed, prevents a formed bubble from dissolving back into the liquid
What is critical radius?
400
Drinking diet coke and then eating a Mento will create an explosion in your stomach, true or false.
What is False? (However, it is not recommended for children as it will still cause a small reaction which their stomachs are not developed enough for)
500
the high amount of CO2 gas paired with the reduced surface tension and heavy Mentos make for a very quick and unstable reaction because of this law
What is Henry's law?
500
CO2 molecules are bonded by these inter-molecular forces.
What are London Dispersion Forces?
500
Increasing the amount of Mentos you put in will affect your explosion up until a certain point. About this many Mentos is the cut-off for when it stops getting bigger.
What is seven Mentos?
500
This happens after the CO2 makes its way to the nucleation site.
What is groups together, forms a bubble, and floats to the surface of the water?
500
Lewis is this good at making jeopardy questions
