How are Mentos and soda similar to volcanic eruptions?
When hard Mentos candies are dropped into a bottle of carbonated beverage, the resultant rapid CO2 exsolution and gas expansion causes an impressive soda `eruption’. We explore the ways in which this simple example can be used to demonstrate explosive volcanic processes. The Mentos and soda reaction is dramatic.
What makes a baking soda volcano erupt?
A chemical reaction between vinegar and baking soda creates a gas called carbon dioxide. The gas gets very excited and tries to spread out. There is not enough room in the bottle for the gas to spread out so it leaves through the opening very quickly, causing an eruption!
What do you think is the reason why liquids fizz out from the can of soda Brainly?
Soda water, like other carbonated beverages, contains carbon dioxide that has dissolved under pressure. When the pressure is released by opening the soda container, the liquid cannot hold as much carbon dioxide, so the excess bubbles out of the solution.
What do you think is the reason why liquids fizz out from the can of soda?
The fizz that bubbles up when you crack open a can of soda is carbon dioxide gas (CO2). Soft drink manufacturers add this tingling froth by forcing carbon dioxide and water into your soda at high pressures—up to 1,200 pounds per square inch.
What is the difference between explosive eruption and effusive eruption?
If lava is flowing out of the volcano, we would call this an effusive eruption. On the other hand, when gas and broken fragments are shot up into the atmosphere, the magma has literally exploded before falling back to Earth. If the magma has been blown to pieces, we would call this an explosive eruption.
Can you make a volcano erupt with baking soda?
You can make your volcano erupt over and over again. When you are ready for the eruption, pour some vinegar into the bottle (which contains hot water, dishwashing detergent, and baking soda). Make the volcano erupt again by adding more baking soda. By now, you probably see why it is important to use a deep dish or a pan.
How is a wax volcano different from a baking soda volcano?
The wax volcano is different because it works like a real volcano. Heat melts wax until it presses against sand, forming a cone and finally an eruption. A yeast and peroxide volcano erupts longer than the baking soda and vinegar version.
What do you use to make a volcano erupt?
When you are ready for the eruption, pour some vinegar into the bottle (which contains hot water, dishwashing detergent, and baking soda). Make the volcano erupt again by adding more baking soda. Pour in more vinegar to trigger the reaction. By now, you probably see why it is important to use a deep dish or a pan.
How big of a bottle of soda do you need to shake a volcano?
The Materials List shows using either 16 or 20 oz (473 or 591 ml) bottles of soda. Practice with a couple of them, but when it comes to the main event, you may want to have some 2-liter bottles ready for shaking. Let’s face it, it’s more volcanic bang for your buck!
