Mentos dragees were added to Coca-Cola soft drink on top of Pikes Peak in Colorado, USA. Scientists measured the amount of foam released when atmospheric pressure changed.
Specialists from Springs Arbor University have demonstrated how the Boyle-Marriott Act works in practice. Drink and dragee was chosen for greater clarity. The work of scientists
published in the journal Journal of Chemical Education.
The experience with Mentos and Coca-Cola became popular after explaining the process that took place during the experiment in the Legend Destroyers program. This caused a wave of attempts to repeat it on social networks by users around the world.
The reason for the sharp foaming of the drink is the addition of aspartame and, given the microporosity of the dragee, the low surface tension of the drink leads to an increase in the ability to form bubbles on its surface.
During the experiment, researchers from the University of Springs Arbor, while climbing Mount Pikes Peak in Colorado, threw a dragee every 300 m into a drink. In doing so, they measured the amount of foam released. The higher they rose, the more foam was released.
