Why does soda explode if artificial sweetener or other powders are added? - I opened a can of soda and spilled some generic artificial sweetener into the soda and it exploded. Why did this happen? I am not talking about mentos, I mean artificial sweeteners like Splenda.

But in fact, according to Scientific American, the explosion is a physical reaction, not a chemical one. It all goes back to the carbonation of the soda. The reason that soda is bubbly is because it's pumped full of carbon dioxide and then trapped within a can or bottle, where the gas can't escape.
As the Mentos sinks to the bottom of the soda, it causes the quick production of carbon dioxide bubbles. These rising carbon dioxide bubbles react with more carbon dioxide still in the soda causing it to release as well. The pressure builds up and then creates the eruption or geyser of soda.

During the Experiment What usually causes soda to erupt in this way? Why do you think the Mentos® are able to elicit a similar reaction? Is the evidence and data you are collecting helping you test your question? If you are modifying variables, ask students what the differences are in the reactions between the modification of variables.
Mentos plus soda equals an explosive experiment we had to try. VERIFY viewer James asked whether dropping Mentos into any soda can cause an explosion, like it does with Diet Coke. Here's what we
