Due to the fact that the mentos are dense, they sink to the bottom of the bottle which gives the diet coke its explosion.

Answer 2

Answers & Explanations:

What happens when Mentos and Diet Coke are mixed?

Mentos sinks rapidly through the liquid, causing a fast, large eruption.

What causes Mentos and Diet Coke to react that way?

The addition of the Mentos leads to the rapid nucleation of carbon dioxide gas bubbles in the Diet Coke, causing them to precipitate out of the solution.

Is the reaction Chemical or Physical?

The eruption is caused by a physical reaction.

How could we prove one way or the other?

We can prove it by using the equation:

$CO_{2} (aq) = Co_{2}(g)$
