Dissolving a tablet in the small bowel is essential for optimal drug absorption. The small intestine has a larger surface area and a rich blood supply, facilitating the efficient uptake of dissolved medications into the bloodstream. Additionally, some drugs are designed to be absorbed at specific pH levels found in the small bowel, maximizing their therapeutic effects while minimizing potential side effects.

How does the type of liquid affect how fast an Alka Seltzer tablet dissolves you need help on a hypothesis and the liquids are coke apple juice water and monster?

Based on the general principles of solubility and chemical reactions, your hypothesis could be that liquids with lower viscosity like water and apple juice will dissolve the Alka Seltzer tablet faster compared to liquids with higher viscosity like Coke and Monster. The higher viscosity might slow down the surface area contact and dissolution process of the tablet within the liquid.


Will alka-seltzer dissolve faster in half?

Substances dissolve more quickly when more surface area is exposed. By cutting an alka-seltzer in half, you are exposing more surface area to the solvent (water). It would dissolve even more quickly if it were cut into more pieces or crushed into a fine powder.

To increase the speed that gas is released from each tablet, it would be best to increase the surface area of the tablet. Breaking the tablet into smaller pieces or crushing it would expose more surface area to the water, allowing the reaction to happen more quickly and release the gas faster.

Is a fingerlike projection in the lining of the small intestine?

If you have a finger like projection in the small intestine, seen by a scope, or X-ray? If seen by scope, it's usually a polyp. They are fairly common, in the large bowel they would remove it during a colonoscopy. In the small bowel if they have seen with a scope it has to be close to the stomach or close to large bowel. I would think they would remove polyps they can see. It doesn't hurt, and they would send it to the lab. to have it checked.


My step daughter put a clorine tablet in the toilet and flushed. It is lodged and attempts with a snake have been futile. How can I break down the tablet?

The chlorine should dissolve in water given enough time. It will dissolve faster in hot water, although I'm not sure how you would manage that in the given situation. On the bright side, you will definitely know your toilet is clean.


What does the term neo terminal ileum refer to in a colonoscopy results report?

neo terminal ileum refers to the 'new' terminal ileum, i.e the 'new' last part of the small bowel. It would be referred to as neo or new because the original terminal ileum has previously been removed. If you haven't had the last part of your small bowel removed you would just have a terminal ileum. If you have had the last part of your small bowel removed, you will have a neo terminal ileum.
