What is the chemical equation for mixing coke and mentos? Short answer: there is no chemical equation because there is no real reaction. Basically what happens is the mentos provide a surface for CO2 molecules to accumulate. After enough accumulate, they are released as huge bubbles of CO2 which forces the coke out of the bottle very rapidly.
