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.

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.

What happens when you put alka-seltzer in vinegar?

When you put Alka-Seltzer in vinegar, a chemical reaction occurs. The citric acid and sodium bicarbonate in the Alka-Seltzer combine with the acetic acid in the vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas is released as bubbles, causing the mixture to fizz and bubble vigorously.


What are the effects of alka seltzer on different temperatures?

When Alka-Seltzer tablets are dissolved in water at different temperatures, the rate of reaction may vary. Higher temperatures generally result in faster dissolution due to increased kinetic energy, while lower temperatures may slow down the process. This can affect the rate of gas release and overall effectiveness of the medication.


What are the bubbles that form when Alka Seltzer is dissolved in water?

Alka Seltzer is primarily sodium bicarbonate. The bubbles form from the chemical reaction of sodium bicarbonate and water. The release of the bubbles cause the tablet to break down and dissolve.

What is the reaction of sprite with alka-seltzer?

When Sprite, a carbonated beverage, is mixed with Alka-Seltzer, a medication containing citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, a chemical reaction occurs. The citric acid in the Alka-Seltzer reacts with the sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas is released as bubbles, causing the Sprite to fizz and bubble up rapidly. This reaction is similar to the fizzing that occurs when Alka-Seltzer is dissolved in water, but the carbonation in the Sprite enhances the effect.
