Alka Seltzer is primarily sodium bicarbonate. The bubbles form from the chemical reaction of sodium bicarbonate and water. The release of the bubbles cause the tablet to break down and dissolve.
I believe the temperature will increase because the seltzer tablets bubbles so I heats up the water.
trick question... seltzer water is a solution of carbon dioxide (solute) IN water (solvent). However, there are many additional materials (like sugar and salt) which will dissolve in seltzer water, making it a solvent.
it bubbles vary slow almost like its not doing anything

seltzer water is carbonated water and the word carbonated means that is contains carbon dioxide. but more importantly than that is the "bubbles" you see in all soda is carbon dioxide gas that has been pressurized into the liquid.
seltzer is made with carbonated water and very few other materials, but soda has many added ingredients which prevents some of the fizz, although seltzer doesn't have fizz. it has bubbles
No, adding seltzer to water does not raise the temperature. Seltzer is simply carbonated water, which means it contains carbon dioxide gas dissolved under pressure. When the pressure is released, the gas comes out of solution as tiny bubbles, but this does not result in a temperature increase.
It has all three. It is a solid until it dissolves in water, then as a liquid it gives off gas bubbles.
Any carbonated drink will do. The recipe is asking for something that creates bubbles. You cold even use beer or lager !
Alka-Seltzer contains aspirin, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and citric acid. When placed in water, the tablet dissolves. The citric acid reacts with the baking soda, and gives off carbon dioxide, which makes bubbles in the water. If you have heartburn, that is caused by too much stomach acid. The baking soda in an Alka-Seltzer counteracts the stomach acid.
Because vinegar is acidic and water neutral, alka-seltzer will produce a better reaction in vinegar. This is because the alka-seltzer is basic with a ph of approx. 9.2 and vinegar is acidic with around 4 I think. Water has a ph of 7 making it neutral, and the higher the difference in numbers on ph scale, the bigger reaction(provided one is acidic(below 7) and one is basic(above 7)).
