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.
