Coke And Mentos Research Paper

If you had an opportunity to solve world hunger you would do it, right? Well a company named Monsanto has set a goal to achieve the mighty task. They look to achieve this goal by creating special seeds that are resistant to pesticides, also which use less water and energy to produce. There are also said to be some big disadvantages to using Monsanto’s methods to producing their seeds that have not yet been researched deeply enough. This raises many questions to people around the world. Many countries who will not even accept seeds from the company over fear of the crops they produce will cause health and environmental detriments. So my question is, can Monsanto solve some of the world’s problems or should we be looking at other better

This case study is the story of Coca-Cola, its history and the report about one of the most fascinating stories about the company this is still regarded by many as a mysterious case: “the introduction of the new Coke”.

“when water underground comes in contact with a source of carbon, such as limestone” (sciencebuddies.org) soda pop is a sweet tasty thing for the taste buds and even though it’s not the best for people scientist believe it is good for your taste buds and throat because its cold and soothing that’s why if one is sick or have a upset stomach certain soda will make one feel better. Because of the fizz in it and coolness it will

The diet coke and Mentos experiment has been a favorite of amateur scientists, but how does it work? There have been debates, and scientists have concluded that the diet coke and Mentos is a physical reaction, called nucleation. Nucleation sites are areas that have high surface with low volume. Such places can be your fingerprint, scratches on glass, specks of dust, or even Mentos candy (Eepy Bird). Mentos candies have a pitted surface that’s rough when looked at through a microscope, therefore creating a wonderful place for nucleation to occur. Water molecules like to be next to other water molecules, so if you drop something into the soda, like Mentos, it acts as a site for growth of bubbles. Mentos have a high

Jones Soda was the hippest soda in town, gaining a substantial fan base within the hip crowds of the underground scene. They connected with their consumers by being quirky and leaving the mainstream attitudes that most soda companies have created, in the dust. Established in 1987 in Canada Jones Soda relocated to the Grunge scene of Seattle, by the mid-2000s the company had grown quite a bit and by 2006 their revenue had increased by 16 percent.

A rougher candy surface such as, Mentos, means there are more places for bubbles to grow, or more nucleation sites. (brilliant.org) Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension between two liquids. (brilliant.org) Dropping Mentos in Coke is an example of a surfactant. The eruptions happen due to nucleation where the Carbon Dioxide in the soda is drawn to the Mentos. (eepybird.com) The pressure of the bottle is trapping the CO2 inside. The CO2 in the soda reacts to the sugar on the Mentos.

Do you think Soda Pop is a caring/helpful person for others? Well I think Sodapop is because he is considerate for everybody. Soda pop is in a gang in the Outsiders and they are a group of teenagers that are that have low income. Soda pop sent a letter to Ponyboy and half of his paycheck when they ran away to hide, then He took of Ponyboy's shoes And socks when Ponyboy passed out on the bed and Sodapop didn't even do it to himself, then he kept Ponyboy,Deli and himself together .

From the results that were acquired from mixing the liquid reagents with each powder, it was determined that Unknown Mixture #1 consisted of baking soda and cornstarch. When individually testing the substances from Unknown Mixture #1 with the liquid reagents, a few noticeable reactions occurred. Mixing baking soda with vinegar caused bubbling to occur. This is because a neutralization reaction took place between the two reactants. In this reaction, sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) reacts with vinegar and produces sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide(HC2H3O2(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) NaC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) ). The gaseous carbon dioxide most likely tried to escape into the atmosphere and caused the bubbling to occur. Another noticeable reaction

Coca–Cola a leading manufacturer, distributor and marketer of soft drink products. Coca–Cola was not always the sugary syrup soft drink most people know today. As a matter of fact, before 1886 Coca-Cola was made with alcohol and cocaine. Concocted by Dr. John Pemberton a pharmacist in Atlanta Georgia Coca-Cola was originally named Pemberton’s French Wine Coca. Dr. Pemberton marketed the drink as a cure all for mental and physical disorders and was sold from a soda fountain at his local drug store. A step ahead of prohibition, Dr. Pemberton replace the wine in his formula with a sugary syrup. The cocaine portion of Coca-Cola was removed before 1914 when cocaine was deemed illegal in the United States of America. Coca-Cola as we know today still contains coca but the narcotic portion of cocaine, it is removed. Today, Coca-Cola has expanded to over 200+ countries. From concerts to sport venues to local restaurants you are more than likely to come across a Coca-Cola product, Coca-Cola has had such an impact on society that it is given credit for how we portray Santa Clause today. Other credits should also be given to Coca-Cola like an increase in diabetes and other diseases.

The Mentos and soda react due to nucleation. When the carbon dioxide from the soda mixes with the Mentos, the carbon dioxide is squeezed into liquid it’s looking for a way out. It’s trying to hook on to it can and those things are nucleation sites. Since the Mentos are coated with A TON of sugar that is also contains tons and tons of nucleation sites which causes pressure to build up and BAM It explodes.

For this lab, we brought a empty soda can to school to show how pressure and temperature can affect the structure of the can. To begin the experiment, we needed a empty soda can, water and ice in a small plastic tub, and a hot plate. First, we added about a tablespoon of water to the empty soda can. Second, we put the soda can on the hot plate and waited until the water was brought to a boil. Then we used beaker tongs to carry the hot soda can and flipped it over into the container of water and ice. Once the can touched the water, the can made a loud crushing sound and the can crippled inward.

Obesity has become a real problem in countries around the globe, in America especially. Corpulence, when seen so widespread, is an epidemic and it is one that needs to be rigorously helped. Soda is a large part of Americans’ lives which is unfortunate knowing what it can do to you. These laws to be passed in New York that bar the use of food stamps for excessively sugary beverages are hopefully a step in that direction. However, soda is not the only cause for people’s rotundness. Many factors including fast foods, junk foods, and the egregious amounts of sugar in too many products also contribute to this sweeping problem. So my question is this: why stop at sodas? New York could really set a precedent if they bar the use of food stamps for

In science a few days ago we made chemical rockets. That reacted with vinegar and baking soda. The chemical property that we invested was the chemical property of reactivity. We put 10mL of vinegar in the 30mL film canister. It made a couple of changes it fizzled, it raised, and made a pop sound when it exploded. The types of matter that is reacting are compounds baking soda is NaHCO3 vinegar is CH3COOH.

It’s mostly due to a process called nucleation, where the carbon dioxide in the soda is attracted to the Mentos (they are awfully cute). That creates so much pressure that the soda goes flying. We then built nozzles that make the opening smaller and that makes the geysers go even

The soda ash form experiment 3 was obtained. A 250 ml beaker was obtained and rinsed.
