There is no chemical formula for alka-selzer, as it is a mixture of multiple compounds. The active ingredients in it are sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), citric acid (C6H8O7), and sometimes potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3).

Alka-Seltzer (taken by means of rapidly dissolving tablets that form a carbonated solution in water) is not a compound but a mixture, so it has more 'formula's'.

The main constituents are:

  1. aspirin(R) or acetylsalicylic acid (C9H8O4 , 2-acetoxybenzoic acid)
  2. sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)
  3. citric acid (C6H8O7 , 3-carboxy-3-hydroxypentanedioic acid)
