Mallory+G

Mallory G. 2011-2012 The purpose of this experiment was to test whether or not the temperature of Coke affects the height of the Coke and Mentos geyser. The experiment was done with fruit and mint Mentos. The hypothesis for the experiment is that the Mint Mentos will make a bigger geyser because the mint taste is on the inside so there is not a layer blocking the coke from the nucleation sites and the geyser will be bigger when the Coke is cold. The experiment was done outside. The Mentos were put into a test tube and when it was time, they were poured into the Coke. The geyser was measured when it came up into the air. This was done with mint Mentos and Fruit Mentos. The hypothesis was incorrect. The geyser with cold Coke only went an average of 57.5 cm but when the Coke was hot, it went an average of 220 cm.
 * COKE AND MENTOS EXPERIMENTS**
 * ABSTRACT**

A way to improve this experiment next time would be to tape the meter sticks up so they are straight instead of holding them up after putting the Mentos in the Coke. Another experiment would be to use more than one type Mentos in the geyser at one time.
