Fizzing and Foaming

Fizzing and foaming

WALT:Write a science report

My class and I are investigating reactions between mentos (mint lollies) & diet coke (fizzy drink.) Because we want to know what happens when you mix mentos (mint lollies) & diet coke (fizzy drink). But knew that it was going to fizz up , we just wanted to know why it fizzes up.

We had to put a paper over the glass of diet coke so that the mentos doesn't drop so quickly. We also had to make a paper tube so we can put the mentos through the tube and drop i gently into the glass. As soon as we dropped the mentos into the diet coke it reacted violently and I could see the fizz and foam coming out of the glass.

EXPLANATION

Mentos has pores little holes , when the mentos mixes with the diet coke it becomes a new substances. When the gases mix it forms bubbles and it starts to fizz. The bubbles try to escape and erupt.
