Mentos??? QUOTE(Winston LYN @ Jun 15 2009, 12:28 AM) Yes, that's why bombs are measure in kg. Because how much mass to produce this much of energy. Nevertheless, explosion is by all means a rapid release of energy. Just like i put Lithium into water. Lithium reacts with water to form Lithium Hydroxide. Bond forming between OH and Li releases huge amount of energy in a very short time. And with the formation of Hydrogen, else there wouldn't be an explosion. Just tons of heat released This post has been edited by NicJolin: Jun 20 2009, 01:18 PM |

QUOTE(chezzball @ Jun 20 2009, 01:26 PM) I think it was tested by mythbuster.. shake the bottle full of coke, then u throw some mentos in it... then u'll see some form of explosion.... this shows that size doesnt really matters right? No that's not explosion at all! Not even near. Explosion is usually cause by chemical reaction. The mentos and coke however, is completely non-chemical at all. In fact, it is a physical process where the mentos provides the carbonated liquid so much nucleation sites that results all the dissolved carbon dioxide to burst out in an instant! Which confuse so much people and make them think it is some kind of chemical explosion. Drinking coke + mentos won't burst ur gut, it'll make u burp alot and gives you an unwell stomach, that's all. |

QUOTE(chezzball @ Jun 20 2009, 02:06 PM) but it has impact... i remember the coke bottle burst open and the pieces flew quite far away... don;t u think it possess similar traits with explosion? whoa... cool.. Most probably due to the build up pressure in the container. It might looks like an explosion, but you can't possibly classify it that way. |
