Whenever two chemicals react, the reacting molecules or ions must collide in order for the reaction to take place. If the reactants are forced to collide more frequently then the reaction should be faster. Two factors which can influence the frequency of collision are temperature and concentration. Increasing the temperature of the reactants causes them to move faster and thus collide more frequently. If the concentration of a reactant is increased, then there are more opportunities for collisions and so the reaction rate increases.
The purpose of this experiment is to measure the effect of temperature and concentration on the rate of a reaction, the formation of carbon dioxide from an Alka-Seltzer (or similar) tablet plopped into water. Alka-Seltzer tablets contain aspirin, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and citric acid. Carbonate (e.g., Na2CO3) and bicarbonate compounds react with acids to form carbon dioxide.
HCO3-1 + H+ ------------> H2O(l) + CO2(g)
and CO3-2 + 2 H+ -----------> H2O(l) + CO2(g)
In an Alka-Seltzer tablet the bicarbonate and acid are solids and so the H+ and CO3-2 ions are not free to move, collide and react. When plopped into water, the citric acid and sodium bicarbonate dissolve , freeing the ions to react. This results in the formation of the carbon dioxide gas and water as the reaction products. By measuring how fast the carbon dioxide is formed, we are measuring the rate of the reaction.
Oh, what a happy little experiment! When you mix Alka-Seltzer and orange juice together, you'll create a fizzy reaction due to the citric acid in the orange juice and the baking soda in the Alka-Seltzer. It's like a little burst of joy in a glass! Just remember, it's always important to handle ingredients safely and have fun exploring the wonders of science.
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.
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.
Assuming the solvent you are using is water, the reason why alka seltzer releases gas is because it is porous and will release CO2 as it reacts. Salt only dissolves in water, and it does not create gas.
The purpose of this experiment was to determine how much time it would take for alca seltzer and water inside a film canister to react and make the lid of a film canister to pop off. There were four different controlled settings to determine the quantities, and the state of the alca seltzer to find out which of these four settings was the best way to create the most reaction in the same controlled environment (the film canister). Our class knows that alca seltzer and water combined creates a gas, so we decided to get into groups and figure out what is the best combination of alca seltzer and water to create this reaction in the fastest amount of time I believe it isjizz juice mixed with some kalypso on the side ~!~!~!~ When the Alka Seltzer is put into the water, in creates CO2 gas. Why is this? The Alka-Seltzer have the main ingredient which is the baking powder. Baking powders have acetic acid or tartaric acid and sodium bicarbonate. When the tablet dissolves the components of baking powder(the acid and the base) react with one another and produces gas(CO2).
Alka Seltzer is an indigestion remedy - not a sleeping tablet ! If taking them is making you sleepy - stoip taking them and find an alternative remedy !
temperature of water i know for sure if the water is hotter, the tablet will dissovle faster
because alka seltzer has to deserved in
Alka Seltzer
Yes you can use alka seltzer to make your own personal lava lamps. It doesn't matter what kind you use as long as it fizzes with the oil and the water.
If you heat it up, it would.
Alka-Seltzer includes aspirin and sodium bicarbonate in its ingredients. A stomach feels upset due to acid. Alka-Seltzer works as a base to neutralize the acid.
Ultimately, the temperature has little effect of the reaction of water and Alka-Seltzer. However, warmer water will make the reaction occur and finish a bit faster.
