Why does Coca Cola explode in a Mentos shell?
It’s not only the surfaces of the Mentos that react with Coca-Cola. Aside from the microscopic structures on the outside of the Mentos shells, there are several chemicals that make Coca-Cola explode in this way. These chemicals are found in the shell itself as well as in the soda mixture, and they contribute to the formation of pressurised foam.
