Why Do Alka Seltzer Expirements
Alka Seltzer Expirement Research The Expirement that the chemist will be conducting includes the following materials: hot water, room tepmerature water, cold water, and regular Alka Seltzer tablets. Research on Alka Seltzer in previous expirements shows that it dissolves faster in hotter temperatures of water. It also shows in previous expirements that Alka Seltzer dissolves slower in colder temperatures of water rather than hotter temoeratures. Alka Seltzer is an antacid that contains aspirin. It is made in tablets that dissolve in water to give a fizzy reaction. The reason people have to use Alka Selzter is to relieve acid indigestion, stomach pain, heart burns, head pains, and any type of aching bodily functions. It is an antacid tablet

    Alka Seltzer Lab Report

    During this lab we tested the reaction of alka seltzer in water. We used water and bromothymol blue (BTB) to help hypothesize what was happening with the alka seltzer in water. When we put the alka seltzer tablet in the water, it started fizzing. It created a lot of bubbles in the water which tells us that some kind of a gas was created when the alka seltzer was put into the water. The next step was the hypothesize what that gas might be. That mystery gas created by the alka seltzer in water had a reaction with the BTB. Since the BTB solution was under the soda bottle dome, a reasonable conclusion is that the gas released by the alka seltzer had a reaction on the BTB solution. The mystery gas turned the BTB solution from blue to yellow. This same reaction occurred when I blew carbon dioxide (CO2) into BTB solution. Since we exhale CO2, and the same reaction occurred with the mystery gas, I can hypothesize that when alka seltzer is combined with water, it creates CO2 gas. So what I learned from this experiment is that alka seltzer when combined with water…

    = 0.0742 Molar Ratio = 10 moles of H2O, 1 moles of Na2CO3 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to find out the structure of the compound of alum through two tests. By determining the melting point of alum, and by determining the water of hydration in alum crystals by comparing the molar ratio between moles of AlK(SO4)2 and moles of H2O, the structure of the compound could be found. When a compound is created, it is essential to confirm whether or not the right compound has formed. There are many ways of determining to verify the identity of a compound. In this lab, two tests are used to determine whether or not the clear crystal is indeed, aluminum potassium sulfate (alum). The results are shown to support the literature value of the melting point of alum. The average experimental value of the melting point of aluminum potassium sulfate (alum) is 91.2 oC, approximately 1.8% error. In procedure #2, the ratio between alum and water is determined by dehydrating the water molecules from the AlK(SO4)2.12H2O. The experimental value of the ratio between alum and water is approx 10.4:12, so 10:12, approximately 13.3%…

    The name of the alka seltzer project is named “The Dropouts.” The significance of that name is that the owners of the machine are very close to dropping out school themselves. Ultimately, the goal of the machine would be to pop a balloon and to blow out a candle. The goal would be achieved by using the potential energy in the balloon, popping it, and using the now present kinetic energy, which is the air, to blow out the flame of the candle. The final products would be a popped balloon and a blown out candle.…

    The theory is that molecules must collide with enough energy in order to create a new product. It is necessary for the collision to have activation energy in the reaction to be successful. For the first experiment, I used two cups of water at room temperature, which I used a thermometer to check the temperature, and poured it in a drinking glass. The constants in the experiment were the amount of water and the number of tablets. I then dropped one alka seltzer tablet in the glass and used a stopwatch for the time it took to dissolve. Once The alka seltzer tablet was dissolved, I recorded the time and then repeated the process two more times. For each trial, the outcomes were about the same. For the second experiment, I used two cups of room…
