Water. You did know that alka-seltzer dissolves in water, right?

Based on the general principles of solubility and chemical reactions, your hypothesis could be that liquids with lower viscosity like water and apple juice will dissolve the Alka Seltzer tablet faster compared to liquids with higher viscosity like Coke and Monster. The higher viscosity might slow down the surface area contact and dissolution process of the tablet within the liquid.
Yes, adding sugar to Alka-Seltzer can impact its properties. Sugar can potentially interfere with the chemical reaction of Alka-Seltzer when it dissolves in water, affecting its effectiveness in providing relief from indigestion or pain. It is recommended to use Alka-Seltzer as instructed for optimal results.
Orange Juice is Acidic - Alka-Seltzer is a base (Alkaline) - It would be like trying to light a candle made out of ice. What you can do is putt 60 Alka-Seltzer tablets in a glass mason jar with 80% water in it and screw that top on tightly to deal with depression and heartburn. I found this works better than mixing with orange juice. I also know how to make a hole in a beer can toward the top so essentially you are drinking out of a cup for increased guzzle ability.
Alka-Seltzer usually creates a bubbling effect in a homemade lava lamp for about 10-15 minutes before it fully dissolves. The exact duration can vary depending on the amount of Alka-Seltzer used and the size of the container.
When Alka-Seltzer is dissolved in oil, it will not mix due to the difference in polarity between the two substances. This is because Alka-Seltzer is designed to dissolve in water, not oil. As a result, the Alka-Seltzer tablet will not fully dissolve in the oil and may be left floating on top or form clumps.
it bubbles vary slow almost like its not doing anything
The reaction of Alka-Seltzer and water is exothermic, meaning it releases heat energy. This is evident from the fizzing and bubbling that occurs when the tablet dissolves in water, which is a result of the chemical reaction between the Alka-Seltzer components and water releasing energy in the form of heat.
The people in the Philippines believe that Alka-Seltzer is not a medicine and that Alka-Seltzer should not be considered a medicine
You increased the surface area, so it dissolves faster.
