A simple fun experiment became an internet sensation and took the internet by storm. Who knew that a bottle of diet coke and some mentos would be such a fun and exciting experiment. More people just look at the outer part of the experiment instead of looking at the science part of it. A lot of people do not realize how much really goes on in a diet coke and a chewy mento until you really want to find out how to get a better reaction and better results. When you first look at the experiment you think it is a chemical reaction, but it is actually a physical reaction. The reasoning behind this is a process called nucleation. (Design, n.d.) Nucleation is a change of state; an example is solid to liquid. (Corporation, 2003) What causes this physical
I believe the type of reaction to have occurred to be a condensation reaction as H2O has been produced as a by-product.
Reactants collide with each other so new bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make new products
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe a variety of chemical reactions and to identify patterns in the conversion of reactants into products.
C. An unknown, rectangular substance measures 3.6 cm high, 4.21 cm long, and 1.17 cm wide.
A physical change includes a change in the material without affecting its composition, such as the physical state change. However, a chemical change includes the change in the composition of the substance. The change in color, formation of a gas or a solid product, and the production of energy are the evidences of a chemical reaction, thus, of a chemical change.
The luminous yellow flame is smoky because no air is entering the burner and hydrocarbon is converted into carbon dioxide
In this experiment you will observe some physical and some chemical changes. You will observe that energy must be used to start some chemical reactions, and that it is produced in others.
1. What type of macroscopic evidence for chemical change did you observe during this experiment? Give at least three different examples.
the bubbles during the reaction. Starch acts to trap these bubbles and this creates a
The purpose of this lab is to test substances and to determine the physical and chemical properties of substances.
Introduction: The theory behind this experiment is the heat of a reaction (∆E) plus the work (W) done by a reaction is equal to
In reference to the collision theory, molecules act as small spheres that collide and bounce off each other, transferring energy among themselves when the collide. In order for a reaction to occur, there must be collisions between molecules. Through experimentation, factors are discovered that influence the reaction rates of chemical reactions include the concentration of reactants, temperature, surface area, the physical state of reactants, and a catalyst. This experiment regarding the factors that affect reaction rate tests the effects of increased concentration and
The objective of this experiment will be to combine various substances, liquids and metals, and to observe their behavior when they are combined. The types of reactions observed shall determine the nature of these reactions: physical or chemical.
reaction has taken place, for example a gad is given off or a solid is
Chemical reactions make new things by rearranging other things. In a chemical reaction, the main change that occurs relates to the way atoms are bonded to each other, in order to change those connections, bonds must be broken and new bonds be formed.
