Answers & Comments
Answer:
1. I observed that when u drop mentos into the soft drink bottle, the bubbles that the softdrinks created will trigger and it would burst out.
2. The liquid or the softdrink who’s inside the bottle have acid (it’s chemical component)
3. When there’s an erupting volcano the first u would do is vacate together with ur family, find a safer place far away from the eruption
4. First, don’t panic because panicking won’t do good. Second, listen to the instruction of your LGU on where and what to do. Third, make sure you are in a close room so that the ashes that the volcano created won’t hurt u.
That’s all i know, i hope it’ll help u tho
Answer:
1.As the Mentos candy sinks in the bottle, the candy causes the production of more and more carbon dioxide bubbles, and the rising bubbles react with carbon dioxide that is still dissolved in the soda to cause more carbon dioxide to be freed and create even more bubbles, resulting in the eruption.
2.Explosive eruptions occur where cooler, more viscous magmas (such as andesite) reach the surface. Dissolved gases cannot escape as easily, so pressure may build up until gas explosions blast rock and lava fragments into the air! ... These eruptions build up more steeply-sloping Composite volcanoes like this one in Chile.
