Is Coke and Mentos a chemical reaction?

But the amazing eruption that takes place when Mentos are dropped into Diet Coke or other brands of diet soda pop is not a chemical reaction at all! Instead it is a physical reaction. That means that all of the pieces of the reaction are there, but that they are simply rearranged.

Who invented chemistry?

If you are asked to identify the Father of Chemistry for a homework assignment, your best answer probably is Antoine Lavoisier. Lavoisier wrote the book Elements of Chemistry (1787).

What do you wonder about chemistry?

How do you do the rubber egg experiment?

The Rubber Egg Experiment

  1. Place an egg in a cup. Place a raw egg carefully in a clear jar or cup.
  2. Add vinegar. Pour enough vinegar in the cup to completely submerge the egg.
  3. Add food coloring. Add in a few generous drops of food coloring and stir gently.
  4. Wait! Observe the eggs each day.
  5. Rub off the shell.
  6. Bounce it!

What are experiments in chemistry?

An experiment is a procedure designed to test a hypothesis as part of the scientific method. The two key variables in any experiment are the independent and dependent variables. The independent variable is controlled or changed to test its effects on the dependent variable.

What are chemistry projects?

Chemical Reactions Projects:

  • Milk Painting.
  • Citrus Battery.
  • Elephant Toothpaste.
  • Plastic Milk and Curds & Whey Experiment.
  • Chemistry Clock.
  • Blow Balloons with Yeast and Sugar.
  • Lemon Volcano.

How do you make rainbow Fizzies?

Pour vinegar into each cup and watch the colours erupt. The baking soda and vinegar will react as they come into contact to create a fizzy rainbow eruption! The kids will be amazed as the watch the baking soda explode and they will want to do this easy science experiment again and again!
