Alka-Seltzer contains various soluable compounds, such as asperin and citric acid, combined in a tablet form with bicarbonate of soda. The bicarbonate of soda reacts when it is in water, giving off carbon dioxide. This action makes the other materials present disolve faster than they otherwise would. The bicarbonate of soda also helps neutralize some stomach acid when the resulting solution is drunk.
