The crushed form of sodium bicarbonate has more surface area than the solid tablet. Because it is exposure to water that causes the reaction, having more surface exposed to water will increase the extent of the reaction.
This happens because heat makes the particles of the tablet speed up and move around quickly, causing the tablet to dissolve.
Generally the solubility of solid materials in liquids is increasing with an increase of the temperature.
When elements are in solid form there is basically no movement of atoms. When an alka-seltzer is dissolved in water, the atoms are able to move and allow for the chemicals to react.
yes
Brownian motion. Molecules move faster as things warm up. When the molecules move faster around the tablet, more of the tablet is disturbed, and therefore, dissolves quicker.
The Alka-Seltzer tablet contains citric acid and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). When put in water, those two 'chemicals' react. The warmer the water, the faster the reaction.
If the tablet has no flavoring to it, the water won't really change it's taste
out of the tablet reacting with the water
no
Sodium hydrogencarbonate and citric acid react.
Yes.
Yes, if the tablet is crushed and solved in water.
Brownian motion. Molecules move faster as things warm up. When the molecules move faster around the tablet, more of the tablet is disturbed, and therefore, dissolves quicker.
It is a chemical change. Depending on the antacid, the active ingredient in the tablet (which is a base) will react with the hydrochloric acid to produce water, a salt, and sometimes carbon dioxide.
Have ot hold any water type tablet (water tablet, surf tablet, etc...)
Alka-Seltzer contains citric acid and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). When the tablet is dropped in the water, the acid and base react producing fizz.
The whole tablet takes longer because less surface area is exposed to the water.
Alka Seltzer is a compound that reacts to liquids. It all depends on the density of the liquid to determine how fast or slow the alka seltzer will react, and how violent it will erupt. With dirty water, it will do the same as water, yet be slower, due to it being more dense.
