In conclusion, our hypothesis was incorrect. After dropping an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a cup of oil, a physical change occurred. We know that the change was physical because, though bubbles were released, the tablet remained in it’s starting state and no other chemical change signs were released. An error we may have caused in an inaccurate count of bubbles, we got as close as we could but we can never be sure. From this experiment, we have learned that compared to Alka-Seltzer and water was oil’s had no dissolving and there was a physical change not a chemical change. The rate of dissolving between the two, the oil’s rate decreased. All in all oil is not a dissolvant and causes a physical change.
