Hi everyone,
We had continued where we left off yesterday, on the famous chemistry experiment on Cola + Mentos Mint. In Version 1, we were using the 500ml Normal Coke Classic + Mentos Mint, but the experiment was not so successful due to the CO2 gas being released even before we managed to put in the mentos mint.
Today, in Version 2, we compared the reaction for the following:
Set A: COCA-COLA ZERO + MENTOS MINTS
vs.
Set B: PEPSI MAX + MENTOS MINTS
As in all chemistry experiment, we have tried to keep all parameters/conditions the same:
1. Surrounding Temperature the same
2. Surrounding Pressure the same
3. Volume is the same (both are 1.5L by volume)
4. Equal amount of Mentos Mints were added
PS: Let me know how you feel about this experiment. I would love to hear from you. Simply write your comments in the “Leave A Reply” section below
PPS: If you have a Youtube account, it would be be great if you could give a rating and perhaps some comments of your own.? >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=626MFcOx6Lk =)

Hi Sean.
With regards to the recent posting of the Coke plus Mentos video, I am quite intrigued by the ‘explosive’ and instantaneous reactions when the Mentos is dropped into the Coke. Is it because of the carbonated water reacting with some chemicals on the exterior of the mint-flavored Mentos? I have seen my senior do it last time too and he got his shirt wet after trying to throw the Mentos into the bottle and closing the bottle opening. Haha! It’s so interesting. x)
