Hey all... Everyone knows that coke + mentos = BOOM. But does anyone know why??? =p

The answer is that, mentos is a CATALYST. it does not react with the coke, but it speeds up the process of coke releasing gas. This vid explains it best.



You'd need some chem knowledge to understand it...
Anyway, here's some fun with that same knowledge. =p



LIKE WATER FOUNTAINS! Wow!!! WHO NEEDS ELECTRICAL PUMPS WHEN YOU COULD HAVE EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY SOFT DRINKS AND EXTREMELY SWEET JUNK? =D

Here's another cool video too. This is not water turning into ice, but it's the supercooling and freezing of an aqeous solution of sodium acetate. Water is heated to boiling point to allow the sodium acetate to dissolve and create to maximum saturation. After that, the solution is cooled fast enough to allow the liquid to be cooled BELOW freezing point without it turning into a solid. (chim i know, but... cool to me. OH NO I'M NERDY!!! NOOOOO!!!!) Anyway, here's the vid. =D



COOL RIGHT?! I KNOW!!!!! OMG I WAN TRY! HAHAHAHA

Wait u touch den ur finger stuck inside. HAHA nice.

(nt a very crazy post, but still interesting, in a way)

OUT

edit: OMG more cools stuff...



HAHAHA GHOST!!!
anyone who needs further explanation can ask me in cbox.

I found a good explanation of how the Mentos and Diet Coke react and the chemistry behind it. http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000109
