it cannto be termed as Chemical Reaction.
The process which occours here is the rapid Degasification of the Carbon Dioxide in the coke due to the mentos.This is released as an effervesence (Rapid Evolution of gas bubbles.)Therefore we can say that the mentos along with diet coke is not a chemical reaction because no new Compound is formed .

Well, yes and no.
The process that mentos triggers is not a chemical process in the usual sense of the term. All that is happening is that the chemicals in mentos are causing a rapid degasification of the coke, that is, the CO2 dissolved in the coke rapidly comes out of solution and bubbles off.
That said, the CO2 while dissolved in the coke can react with the water and produce the mildly acid, H2CO3, carbonic acid. When the CO2 dissolved undissolves due to the Mentos, some of the H2CO3 will decompose into water and CO2.

uncertain on the Mentos section, yet for the "coke" you ought to use "weight-alleviation plan coke" like those "scientist" men did. They pronounced weight-alleviation plan is lots greater effective via fact it would not have the sugar which makes issues very sticky. I might desire to assert, that grew to become into an extremely cool video.

Yes - see the website: eppybird.com
It explains the whole thing, and there is a great video on there too.
