I will explain it when I get home :P

That's really cool… What exactly happened? Something reacted with something else? :o

bleach :)

Actually, I think it's calcium hypochlorite rather than sodium hypochlorite. It's the stuff used to chlorinate pools, rather than standard household bleach.

What are the interacting substances? And whats the product

The product is one f* explosion of cola goodness!

It looks like its boiled or something. Is that heat or evaporation of some sort? This is quite interesting!

The reaction is between the substance in coke( haven't looked up ingredients, most likely acid of some sort, possibly sugar). Like Senarth said, it's calcium hypochlorite, pool bleach, and the reaction produces heat from the molecules splitting and going to a lower energy level in their respective electron orbitals when the two chemicals combine, the bubbles are from the release of CO2 which s created, plus the CO2 that is used to carbonate the coke meaning it is most likely an acid base reaction. Resulting in the creation of CO2, H2O and a combination of chlorite and whatever it reacts with in coke.

I'll look up what it reacts with in coke later tonight or ask my Ap chem teacher possibly, anyways that is what I get from a year of AP and watching the reaction/ knowing the products

A quick search suggests it's probably reacting with either the carbonic or phosphoric acids. Possibly both.

Talked to my AP chem teacher, she said she has done the reaction before and it is the chlorite reacting with the carbonic acid in the coke(:

Nice, when i was little my father showed me a trick with sugar water and with somekind of purple powder that is used for cleaning wounds. After 30 secounds a fire started
