The crushed form of sodium bicarbonate has more surface area than the solid tablet. Because it is exposure to water that causes the reaction, having more surface exposed to water will increase the extent of the reaction.
Alka-Seltzer dissolves in salt water due to the ionic nature of both the salt and the active ingredients in the tablet. When Alka-Seltzer is added to salt water, the salt ions interact with the water molecules, increasing the solvent's ability to solvate and separate the components of the tablet. The presence of salt can disrupt the hydrogen bonding in water, enhancing the dissolution process. Additionally, the effervescent reaction that occurs releases carbon dioxide, further aiding in the dispersion of the tablet's ingredients.
Brownian motion. Molecules move faster as things warm up. When the molecules move faster around the tablet, more of the tablet is disturbed, and therefore, dissolves quicker.
When an Alka-Seltzer tablet is dropped into water, the citric acid and sodium bicarbonate in the tablet react to form carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles. This reaction is what causes the fizzing and bubbling that you see when the tablet is dropped into water.
When you add a seltzer tablet to water, it will dissolve and release carbon dioxide gas, creating bubbles and fizzing. This reaction occurs due to the tablet’s ingredients, often including citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, which react to form carbonic acid, resulting in effervescence. The water becomes carbonated, giving it a refreshing taste and texture.
To separate a tablet from water, you can use evaporation. Leave the tablet and water solution in an open container and allow the water to evaporate, leaving behind the tablet. Alternatively, you can use filtration to separate the tablet from the water by passing the solution through a filter that captures the tablet while allowing the water to pass through.
Sodium hydrogencarbonate and citric acid react.
I think it would increase the desolving rate
The percent of bicarbonate in an Alka-Seltzer tablet is typically around 26-28%. This bicarbonate component helps to neutralize stomach acid and relieve symptoms of indigestion or heartburn when the tablet is dissolved in water.
Yes, if the tablet is crushed and solved in water.
Yes.

Alka-Seltzer will dissolve faster when crushed to a powder compared to when it is in tablet form. This is because the increased surface area of the powdered form allows for quicker interaction with water, facilitating a faster dissolution process. In contrast, the tablet form has a more compact structure that takes longer to break down.
When a tablet, like an antacid, is dropped into soda, the acids in the soda react with the active ingredients in the tablet, causing it to dissolve and release gas. This reaction creates bubbles and fizz, while the tablet's components mix with the liquid.

Have ot hold any water type tablet (water tablet, surf tablet, etc...)
