experiment was divided into two parts: one part was to observe the properties of a single Alka Seltzer tablet and the second part was to find the percentage of CO2. In the first part of the experiment, the visible properties of Alka Seltzer were observed and recorded. Each Alka Seltzer contains the same three ingredients: 325 mg of Aspirin, 1000 mg of Citric Acid, and 1916 mg of Sodium Bicarbonate. Two of Alka Seltzer’s ingredients, Citric Acid and Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda), were both…
TITLE: INTRODUCTION: Alka-Seltzer is used to reduce pain, inflammation, heartburn etc. It is an antacid. When it is dissolved in water, it produces carbon dioxide filled air bubbles. It is represented by CO2.(1) Alka-Seltzer consists of citric acid and aspirin. Bicarbonates are formed when the tablet is dissolved. When it is mixed with citric acid, then the acid reacts with bicarbonates and water, carbon dioxide are formed.(1) When Carbon and oxygen bonded, then carbon dioxide gas is…
it took for the Alka-Seltzer tablet to completely dissolve per trial. Graph 2 displays the averages of the reaction time which showed the higher the water temperature is, the faster the reaction time would be. At 65⁰C the average time for the Alka-Seltzer to completely dissolve was 1 minute 4 seconds followed by 1 minute 20 seconds at 35⁰C and ending with the highest average at 2 minutes 1 second (1.61). The hypothesis stated that hot water temperature would make the Alka-Seltzer tablet…
〖Co〗_2 gases that were given off by the Alka-Seltzer tablets and to identify experimental masses. The volume of gas was 724 liters, or 723.86 cm and the experimental mass was .0894 grams. A balance scale was used before and after the reaction to record the change in overall mass. First, using the scale, the flask, balloon, and Alka-Setlzer tablets were measured, 259.4 ±.05 Grams were found. What created the “〖Co〗_2 gases to be trapped” were the crushed Alka-Seltzer tablets that went into the…
Germany owns the Alka-Seltzer, which was launched in 1931 and was meant for relief of minor aches, pains, inflammation, fever, headache, heartburn, sour stomach, indigestion, and hangovers. The Alka-Seltzer Plus was a spin-off of the original medicine, meant to relieve colds and flu. The company has recently introduced a new and improved Alka-Seltzer Plus, as described in the TV ad: “The Cold Truth”, (please, watch the ad listed in the Required Readings) The ad shows that Alka-Seltzer Plus…
Topic: Dissolving Alka-Seltzer in Different Liquids Due Date: September 30, 2016 (2) Background Research The topic of this experiment is investigating and researching whether different properties in different types of liquids affect the amount of time it takes for an Alka-Seltzer to dissolve. The independent variable would be the amount of liquid being used to dissolve the Alka-Seltzer pill. The dependent variable would be the amount of time it takes to dissolve the Alka-Seltzer pill. The…
with yeast in order for a balloon to inflate?” In order to do this we decided to use yeast and vinegar, and mixed it with baking soda, alka-seltzer, and mentos. Our hypothesis was that…
Temperature of Water vs. Time it Takes for Alka Seltzer Tablet to Dissolve Lab 7th Grade Question: What is the effect of the temperature of the water on the time it takes for an alka seltzer tablet to dissolve in water? Intro: This lab represents a parts of the rock cycle when rocks fall into water over thousands of years they become smaller and are in more pieces this is called weathering. But, not all water is the same temperature. For example rivers are moving so they will be colder…
Varied Substances on a Daphnia’s Heart Rate. Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to compare the resting heart rate of a Daphnia, to its heart rate after 5 different substances were tested on it: Aspirin, Nasal Spray, Alka Seltzer, Coffee and Tea. Daphnia’s are often used as an experimental animal in lab settings because they are small, have a short life span and are easily maintained, only needing water to survive. For this specific lab, it was important that we have a…
you need for the lava lamp. You’ll need something to do it in, such as: a clear vase, a water bottle, a large clear cup, a clear soda bottle, or something along those lines. You’ll also need water, vegetable oil, food coloring, and at least 2-3 alka-seltzers. For the best results with fake lava lamps use 4 parts vegetable oil and 1 part water. The container for the lava lamp should be mostly vegetable oil with some water. You can also add glitter for more fun. After gathering everything you’ll…
