What happens if you add a mint to a coke?

What will happen to Coke and mints, foreigners will experiment with death, and the ending will be terrified!

Isn't that mint-flavored cola?

1. Coke will react with mints, and after throwing mints into Coke for a few seconds, Coke will gush out, and eating both at the same time may cause adverse reactions such as stomach bloating and carbon dioxide poisoning.

2. Coke can be sprayed out by the gas in it - carbon dioxide, and this gas dissolved in water follows Henry's law, that is, at a certain temperature, the solubility of the gas in the solution is proportional to the pressure of this gas. In the production of soda, the factory uses a high-pressure device to add carbon dioxide to the water, which dissolves in the water and reacts with the water to form carbonic acid.

3. When poured into the beverage bottle, a part of the carbon dioxide will overflow from the soda, but because the bottle is sealed, the gas cannot get out, so the pressure in the bottle is relatively high, and the carbon dioxide content in the soda can always be maintained at a high level. But when the cap is suddenly opened, the air pressure inside the bottle quickly decreases, and the solubility of carbon dioxide decreases. Therefore, the carbonic acid in the soda is in a supersaturated state, and the supersaturated carbonic acid will spontaneously decompose carbon dioxide.

Because Coke reacts with mints, after a few seconds of throwing mints into Coke, Coke will gush out, and eating both at the same time will cause adverse reactions such as stomach bloating and carbon dioxide poisoning.

After opening the bottle, the cola solution is in a state of carbon dioxide supersaturation, which is extremely unstable, and under the action of mints, which will promote the cola solution to return to a more stable state, thus releasing carbon dioxide. This is because mints contain tiny particles such as corn flour and sugar grains, and their surface is rough, which helps to speed up the reaction.

It can cause damage to the stomach, tearing the "cardia", and even life-threatening.

Experimental process: Open 500 ml of Coke, put 8 mints into the Coke bottle, about three or four seconds, only to see the Coke began to boil in the bottle, and then a stream of Coke squirted out of the bottle, the height was about twenty or thirty centimeters, and after 10 seconds, half of the Coke was left in the bottle.

Wu Mingshu, a doctor of organic chemistry from the Department of Chemistry of Hainan Normal University, said that cola is a carbonated drink, and the key to the spring may be that there is a certain substance in the mint to react with the carbonated drink, and the temperature rises instantaneously to catalyze the lack of focus to accelerate the release of gas, so that it is ejected.

In view of the harm of "boiling cola" to the human body, Zhang Yaqin, a member of the Committee of the Children's Insurance Branch of the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association and chief physician of the Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that under normal circumstances, after drinking carbonated drinks, the gas produced will be discharged normally through the gastric cardia, but if the stomach produces a large amount of gas in an instant, it may cause the stomach to expand violently, resulting in stomach damage, and in severe cases, it may also cause "cardia" tearing, and even life-threatening.
