Because vinegar is acidic and water neutral, alka-seltzer will produce a better reaction in vinegar. This is because the alka-seltzer is basic with a ph of approx. 9.2 and vinegar is acidic with around 4 I think. Water has a ph of 7 making it neutral, and the higher the difference in numbers on ph scale, the bigger reaction(provided one is acidic(below 7) and one is basic(above 7)).

How do you dissolve washing up liquid bubbles?

To dissolve washing up liquid bubbles, you can simply add a small amount of vinegar to the water. The vinegar helps break down the soap molecules, allowing the bubbles to disperse more easily. Alternatively, you can wait for the bubbles to naturally break down over time.

Does bubbles occur in cold water when baking soda is added?

No, but it depends on what kind of bubbles you are trying to make. Soap bubbles aren't made out of water and baking soda. You can add baking soda to vinegar and create bubbles, as you've seen in fake volcanoes.

What happens when you put soda and vinegar together?

When soda (carbonated water) and vinegar are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs that produces carbon dioxide gas. This reaction causes fizzing and bubbling, as the gas tries to escape from the liquid mixture. The reaction is a result of the acid in vinegar reacting with the carbon dioxide in the soda.

What is an effervescent reaction?

An effervescent reaction is a chemical reaction that produces bubbles of gas within a liquid. This is often seen when an acid reacts with a base to form water and a gas, such as in the reaction of vinegar with baking soda to produce carbon dioxide gas.
