Nucleation...when cola explodes

"Chemistry on the photography". The phenomenon of the exploding coca-cola after throwing the Mentos candy into it is called the nucleation, or the initial stage of the phase transition, during which small nuclei of the new phase, in this case the gas, arise in the substance. After the ordinary opening of the cola bottle, it releases carbon dioxide. After throwing the mentos into a bottle of cola, the drink suddenly explodes taking the form of an attractive fountain. Water molecules interact with each other and form a strong bond around the molecule of carbon dioxide.
