Why Do Liquids With Carbonization Have A Faster Effect To Dissolve

Improved Essays
According to Jefferson (2011), “Liquids with Carbonization have a faster effect to dissolve an aspirin than many other liquids that don’t have carbonization.” In this experiment, I am testing which of the following liquids Sprite,Coke,7-Up,Fanta,Ginger Ale,Water,Lemonade, Club Soda, or Orange Juice will dissolve a coated aspirin and an uncoated aspirin the quickest to result in the fastest relief possible. There are many things that may affect the results such as pH level and if a drink that is carbonized will dissolve the aspirin quicker.The topic of this project falls under the idea of medicine and health.
According to Paikin and Eikelboom (2012), “Aspirin is one of the most widely used medical treatments worldwide.Aspirin reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes by preventing blood clots from forming on the surface of ruptured atherosclerotic plaques.”Besides the fact that it helps prevent blood clots from forming on surfaces of ripped atherosclerotic plaques, aspirin also works as a pain reliever.These plaques build up over years because of injuries from high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol levels, abnormal blood sugar levels, and toxins contained in smoke.Platelets

The next liquid is Coke, coke has a dangerously low pH level of 2.49.7-Up is next and has a pH level of 3.20. Then comes Fanta with a low level as well of 2.90. Although Ginger ale might be the best out of all sodas as it has a pH of 4. Water is sitting at a 7 which means it's a neutral substance. Third to last is Lemonade with a pH of 2.5 then comes Orange Juice with a pH of 2.8. Last but not least is Club Soda with a pH level of

    COPD is a disease characterized by chronic airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation in COPD is usually progressive and is associated with an inflammatory response of the lungs (Haggerty, 2013). The pathological changes that indicate COPD include an increase in mucus producing cells, chronic inflammation in different parts of the lung, and structural changes that result from a persistent cycle of destruction and repair. Many parts of the lungs are affected, including the proximal and peripheral airways, lung parenchyma, and pulmonary vasculature (Haggerty, 2013).The inflammatory response found in COPD is thought to be an extension of the normal inflammatory process.…

    The experiment that I will be conducting focuses on how fast one tablet of Alka seltzer can dissolve in various temperatures of water. The core of this procedure is to determine the impact that temperature has on how fast something dissolves. My hypothesis for this experiment would be that the Alka Seltzer that dissolves the fastest would be the one that was placed in the water with the highest temperature. There will be controlled and manipulated variables explained throughout the experiment. The two main things used in this experiment will be the solute and the solvent, which is Alka Seltzer and water.…

    In atherosclerosis, fatty deposits called plaque, build up on the inner wall of the coronary arteries. These fatty deposits usually develop over many years. Plaque is composed of porridge like accumulation of cholesterol and their compounds within a fibrous coat. After it builds up, the injury to the arteries signal the immune system to release white blood cells to the site. This initiates a process called the inflammatory response.…

    Acid rain is any form of precipitation that has unusually high acidity (a pH level below 5.6) and caused by the transformation of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into secondary pollutants. pH is is a scale used that measures the acidity of liquids and ranged from 0 to 14. The lower the number, the higher acidity, or the higher concentration of hydrogen ions. 0-5 is considered acidic and as you move up to 7, this indicates the substance is neutral. The higher numbers on the scale indicate high alkalinity (basic), with the highest possible pH of 14.…

    Primary prevention is defined as preventing the onset of disease through interventions that are applied before there is any evidence of disease or injury. Examples of such prevention include things like vaccination. By this definition, a primary preventative strategy for this patient would be recognising that he had several risk factors for his stroke and aiming to prevent the stroke before it happened. He is beyond that stage now but if he was given an intervention before his first stroke in attempt to reduce his risk this would have been primary prevention. Interventions for primary prevention of stroke include dietary changes to reduce hypertension through lower intake of sodium and saturated fat and higher intake of potassium, fruits,…
