Introduction If The Temperature of the sprite is increased then the geyser’s size will increase because the chemicals inside the Mentos and sprite will be more irritated and burst out more violently. This is caused because of something called nucleation which is when carbon dioxide in the soda mixes with the chemicals of mentos the fizz is acting all bottled up like how you shake a bottle of coke but instead with mentos that is x10. The mentos acts as a booster for the fizz so think of it as a variable to make the sprite’s explosion bigger depending on the number of mentos. Some of the ingredients in sprite are as the following Carbonated Water, Phosphoric acid, Potassium Citrate, Potassium Benzoate, Citric acid, “natural flavors”, aspartame, and acesulfame potassium. While Mentos has sugar, wheat glucose syrup, hydrogenated coconut oil, rice starch, natural flavors, gum arabic, sucrose esters of fatty acids, gellan gum, carnauba wax, and beeswax.
How Does Heat Affect Sprite And Mentos?

Another reason is that everytime I look on youtube and social media I see all the coke and mentos tags but I have never seen anyone try to experiment with Sprite, so then the idea kind of exploded at me to do something that I don’t even know might work so all together this experiment I am doing is really a big gamble. The question I am trying to answer is “How does heat affect Sprite W/ Mentos” and the things we will be changing are the different kinds of heat levels (3) in total, One will be in boiling water, another in the freezer, and lastly one that is just regular room temperature. Coke and mentos explode because of a chain reaction called nucleation, the cause of nucleation is because dissolved gas in a liquid comes out as a solution forming a crack, hole, crevice, or in any small container that's not in a
Alka-Seltzer is made up of baking soda, aspirin, and citric acid which gives the tablet the fizz when dropped in any temperature water. “Alka-Seltzer is a medication that works as a pain reliever and an antacid. (Antacids help neutralize stomach acidity, which can cause heartburn.)” (Science Buddies, Carbonation Countdown: The Effect of Temperature on Reaction Time). To take the Alka-Seltzer tablet you have to dissolve it in water causing a chemical reaction to form and the whole solution begins to fizz. The fizz occurs since when you drop the tablet in the water the baking soda and the citric acid react causing the water to fizz also “sodium bicarbonate splits apart to form sodium and bicarbonate ions” (Science Buddies, Carbonation Countdown: The Effect of Temperature on Reaction Time). When the Alka-Seltzer is dropped in the water then a chemical reaction forms allowing the Alka-Seltzer to dissolve. Temperature is related to this experiment because the temperature affects how fast the hydrogen ions react with the bicarbonate ions and as the temperature increases the movement of the molecules increases in speed and vice versa (Science Buddies, Carbonation Countdown: The Effect of Temperature on Reaction Time).
Hypothesis: The Alka Seltzer will dissolve fastest in hot water and slowest in cold water.
For the sample calculations, let’s use the marshmallow as an example. Its initial mass was 0.66 grams and its final mass was 0.36 grams. To calculate the amount burned, subtract 0.36 from 0.66 to get 0.30 grams. (Mass burned = mi- mf). To find the marshmallow’s change in temperature, use the formula (ΔT =
An Investigation Into How the Thickness of Insulation Affects the Time a Drink Takes to Cool Down
(Why Does Alka-Seltzer Fizz in Water?) The fizzing that occurs is basically the same as baking powder and vinegar. (Why Does Alka-Seltzer Dissolve in Water?) The chemical reaction happens when molecules collide into sufficient energy to break old bonds and form new ones. (Walker and Wood)Some of these may take a while and others may take almost no time at all. (Walker and Wood) Alka-Seltzer contains citric acid and sodium bicarbonate which is basically baking powder. (Walker and Wood) I believe that the tablets will dissolve faster in warmer water, because increasing temperature also increases kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. When the rate of the reactant molecules increases the tablets will dissolve quicker. (Walker and Wood) When Alka-Seltzer dissolves it is caused by acid coming in contact with baking soda. (Why does Alka-Seltzer
This objective required us to calculate the densities of both sodas and determine which of the three pieces of glassware used, beaker, graduate cylinder, or buret, was most accurate and which was most precise. The pooled class data revealed that the buret was the most accurate for both Coke and Diet Coke. The actual density of Coke is 1.038 g/mL and the buret had a density of 1.041 g/mL, which is 0.003 g/mL greater than the actual density. This density was the closest to Coke. The density of Coke with a beaker was 0.92 g/mL, which is 0.118 g/mL less than the actual density and the density with the graduated cylinder was 0.998 g/mL, which is 0.04 g/mL less than the actual density. The actual density of Diet Coke was 0.997 g/mL and the buret was closest with a density of 1.006 g/mL, which is 0.008 g/mL greater than the actual density. The beaker gave a density of 0.87, which is 0.128 g/mL less than the actual density, and the graduated cylinder gave a density of 0.945 g/mL, which is 0.053 g/mL less than the actual density.
Later, General Foods rejuvenated its carbonated-candy technology and created carbonated bubble gum. This product also provided the crackling sensation of the original Pop Rocks and Space Dust.
In my commercial LeBron James a Professional Basketball player is trying to get us the consumer to buy the product. He grabs our attention by saying “I wouldn’t tell you to drink sprite even if I was in a commercial for sprite”, While the guys in the commercial or trying to get him to say "Drink Sprite". The reason for this commercial is not to tell people what to do but give them the option to drink or try the soft drink. Sprite was introduced in the United States in 1961 by the Coca-Cola Company, with its colorless lemon and lime flavored, caffeine-free soft drink. Sprite was developed in West Germany in 1959 as Fanta Klare Zitrone which means (“Clear Lemon Fanta”) and introduced in the United States as Sprite. This soft drink was a response

Squirt is a caffeine-free, low-sodium carbonated soft drink brand with a distinctive blend of grapefruit juices that gives it a tangy, fresh citrus taste. Squirt is the best selling carbonated grapefruit soft drink brand in the United States. The origin of Squirt can be traced back to 1938 when a man named Herb Bishop began experimenting with Citrus Club. Bishop created a new carbonated soft drink that required less fruit and sugar to produce compared to other sodas that were being made at the time. The new drink "seemed to squirt onto the tongue," so Bishop named the drink Squirt. Squirts sales grew during WWII because its low sugar content helped bottlers restricted by sugar rationing rules. By the mid 70's, Squirt was introduced internationally in Central and South America. In 1977 a company named Brooks Products purchased Squirt from Bishop. In 1983, Diet Squirt became the first soft drink in the United States to be sweetened with Nutra Sweet. Squirt joined A&W Brands in 1986, which was later purchased by Cadbury Schweppes PLC in 1993. Responsibility for manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of Squirt was assigned to Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc, which had been acquired by Cadbury Schweppes PLC in 1995. It still remains under the Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc.
The secret behind the “popping” of pop rocks candy is pressurized carbon dioxide gas. Each of the tiny little candy pebbles contains a small amount of gas. These tiny carbon dioxide bubbles make the popping sound you hear when they burst free from their candy shells. So what causes the balloon to inflate? The carbon dioxide contained in the candy isn't enough to cause even the small amount of inflation you observe in the experiment.That's where the soda comes into play. The soda also contains pressurized carbon dioxide gas. When the pop rocks are dropped into the soda, some carbon dioxide is able to escape from the high fructose corn syrup of the soda and because the carbon dioxide gas has nowhere to go in the bottle, it rises into the balloon.
Our independent variable is the temperature of the sprite and the number of mentos we use on each one. We will be using 3 different sprites with 3 mentos each. We will put one in the freezer for 1 hour, boil another for 1 hour, and keep the last one in regular room temperature for 1 hour.
... but if the pop is poured into an icy bowl that just came out of the freezer it will ice up right before your eyes. In the glass the ice crystals might collect at the top, to fix this take a spoon or a straw and stir the drink, instantly the pop will ice over. Try keeping the pop liquified by pouring it into a clean bowl. Then freeze it by dropping a small piece of ice into it. The ice crystals will grow until the bowl is filled with another supercooled pop. This trick works just as well with a can, but only if the pressure released very, very slowly or else it will crystalize inside the can.
How does drinking an energy drink affect the heart rate of a person? If one drinks a Full Throttle, that person’s heart rate will rise.The idea of this science fair project is if someone drinks an energy drink then that person’s heart rate will rise and could have either a positive or negative effect on the human heart.This project is interesting to me because I consume energy drinks and I want to find out how they effect my heart rate.
Refrigeration Refrigeration is defined as “The process of removing heat from an enclosed space, or from a substance, to lower its pressure.” (First website given in bibliography) In simpler terms, it is removing heat from states of matter in order to keep them cooler. The basic need for refrigeration is to cool food and beverages, as they often get spoilt if the temperature is high. Before actual refrigerators and other such mechanical systems were introduced, it was very common for people to cool their food with ice and snow.
