i know that the reason diet coke and mentos go "BOOM" is that...
mentos act as a catalyst to the reaction and intensfy the release.
It's a process called nucleation, the carbon molecules get stuck in the bumps of the Mentos and that causes the oxygen to be left in a less dense state so it rises out of the bottle and takes liquid with it.
diffusion of two chemical substances namely carbon dioxide and oxygen.
and i know that...
its an exothermic reastion.
is all of that true? what else should i know for my project...please help me people...im in the 9th grade too.
