Why does alka selzer fizz in a lava lamp?

Alka-Seltzer tablets contain baking soda and citric acid. When dissolved in water, the two substances react to produce carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles and fizz. In a lava lamp, the bubbling action from the Alka-Seltzer tablet creates movement in the colored wax, resembling the flow of lava.


What do you need to make a lava lamp?

A soda bottle, water, vegetable oil, Alka Selzer tablets and food coloring. Instead of Alka Selzer you can also use baking powder.


What do you need to make a homemade lava lamp?

To make a homemade lava lamp, you will need a clear plastic bottle, water, vegetable oil, effervescent tablets (such as Alka-Seltzer), food coloring, and a flashlight (optional). Fill the bottle with water and top it off with oil, leaving some space at the top. Add a few drops of food coloring. Break the effervescent tablet into smaller pieces and drop them into the bottle to create the lava lamp effect. Shine a flashlight underneath for a better visual effect.

'can alka seltzer cause your blood pressure to rise?

It can. Alka Selzer contains sodium bicarbonate, which would add salt to your diet. In most hypertensive (high blood pressure) patients, you want to limit your salt intake. Thus, I would not recommend taking this medication unless you talked to your doctor. If you are having indigestion, there are other medications you can take that will not effect your blood pressure. Talk with a pharmacist or your doctor.

When alka-seltzer reacts with water, it produces carbon dioxide gas. The pressure from the gas buildup pushes the canister up until it runs out of gas. The height the canister reaches depends on the amount of alka-seltzer and water used, as well as the size and weight of the canister.


What will happen if you put alka-seltzer in the gas tank of a car?

Putting Alka-Seltzer in a car's gas tank will not have any beneficial effect and may potentially damage the fuel system. Alka-Seltzer is meant for relieving indigestion in humans and is not designed to interact with fuel in a combustion engine. It is not recommended to put any non-fuel substances in a car's gas tank.
