Alka Seltzer Lab That familiar fizzing you hear when you drop an Alka Seltzer tablet into a glass of water is the result of a chemical reaction, and chemical reactions are extremely prevalent when it comes to what living things do to carry out life processes. In addition, environmental conditions can alter the results of chemical reactions, and in this lab, we will be answering the question: Will the temperature of the water affect the speed of the dissolving Alka Seltzers? Hypothesis: The Alka
contains me trying to find which amount of surface area of an Alka-Seltzer tablet gives off the most gas bubbles once I drop the tablet into water. The Alka-Seltzer tablets will be crushed into different equal surface areas ranging from crushed to cut in halves or in quarters. After that I will then add the Alka-Seltzer tablets inside of the balloon.(¨Bubbles, Gas, and Balloons¨) I am going to measure the amount of gas bubbles the Alka-Seltzer tablet gives off by attaching a balloon to the top of my Erlenmeyer
Alka Seltzer Dissolving at Different Temperatures The variable that I will change will be the temperature of the water that the Alka Seltzer is put in. For my results I will measure the time taken for the Alka seltzer tablet to completely dissolve in water at different temperatures. Input variables: * Varying surface area of Alka-Seltzer tablet, i.e. if cut into smaller pieces or crushed it will increase the surface area. (If the surface area is increased (more powdered) the rate
On television, there are commercials on Alka-Seltzer tablets. If you haven’t seen any well Alka-Seltzer tablets are tablets that give you fast relief remedy. Well, when you drop one of these tablets into water it starts to make bubbles. You could sort of compare this to a soda when the bubbles start to fizz up. The bubbles the tablets start to create are carbon dioxide gas. But the carbon dioxide are created by a chemical reaction that happens when the tablet starts to dissolve in water. You’re probably
How does heat affect density? Many people do not realize why certain things or reactions happen. An example of this is why lava lamps work. The heat from the Alka Seltzer mixes the oil and food coloring in our lava lamps together that gives the lava lamp the effect has. For example, in Nelly’s and my case, the heat is the Alka Seltzer. The heat changes the density of the oil and the food coloring. This gives the oil and food coloring a chance to mix and make what appears to be “lava.” The heat makes
effect of temperature on the dissolving time of an Alka-Seltzer? Alka-Seltzer is made up of baking soda, aspirin, and citric acid which gives the tablet the fizz when dropped in any temperature water. “Alka-Seltzer is a medication that works as a pain reliever and an antacid. (Antacids help neutralize stomach acidity, which can cause heartburn.)” (Science Buddies, Carbonation Countdown: The Effect of Temperature on Reaction Time). To take the Alka-Seltzer tablet you have to dissolve it in water causing
This research includes information about Alka-Seltzer and it’s correlation with chemical reactions. Many people use the chemical reaction of Alka-Seltzers to heal themselves. Heat and cold can strongly affect the speed of a chemical reaction. This science project will determine the effect heat has on the reaction between a seltzer tablet and beakers of water. The temperatures will be extremely cold, cold, room temperature, hot, and boiling water. Alka-Seltzer is a medication that works as a pain reliever
Alka-Seltzer Rockets Instructor: Mr. Thompson Due 4/1/16 Science Research Jamal Matthews Jeremy Alpert Sophia Tannenbaum Abstract Alka-Seltzer® is a tablet that can be taken to relieve stomach pain from indigestion. Our experiment was designed to test the hypothesis that if the amount of Alka-Seltzer® increased, then the time it would take for the cap to pop off the film canister would decrease. In our experiment, we changed
results respectively. As all the graphs contained outliers, and hence, scatter, this indicates that random errors were present. Such errors may result from the inconsistent masses of the Alka Seltzer tablets. As these tablets were cut manually with a knife, it is unlikely that the mass of each half of an Alka Seltzer tablet would be the same. Thus, when using the tablets to react with HCl, the true number of tablets reacting would have not been the same as the number denoted for the trial, and with
The rate at which Alka-Seltzer tablets reacts with water Statement of problem The aim of the experiment is to find out the rate at which Alka-Seltzer tablets react with water. The input variable that I will change is temperature. The output variable will be measured by the time it takes for the Alka-Seltzer tablets to dissolve. Input variables In this experiment there are two main factors that can affect the rate of the reaction. These key factors can change the rate of the reaction by either
What might happen if I were to try to mix water, oil, food coloring and Alka seltzer. I had the hypothesis that if I mix all these things that it would make bubbles of gas. So I tried it. Using the materials provided in class, I found that water and oil don’t mix at all. The oil ended up on top of the water. Meanwhile the food coloring and water almost effortlessly mixed at first contact. After recording the mass of the alka seltzer, I dropped it right it into the test tube. As it crossed into the border
vinegar, then the speed of the Alka-Seltzer would increase as well because the speed of the molecules breaking down will be faster. If we also increased the surface area of the Alka-seltzer, it will also dissolve quickly because the pieces are little. In order to complete the surface area experiment, we put our safety goggles on to prevent any
things like, the heart, lungs, and muscles. ACh does this by releasing into the SA node, the action that it involves is that it decreases the rate of the SA node, by increasing the potassium and decreasing calcium and sodium movements. Also, Alka seltzers involves in inhibition of cyclooxygenase, aiding in the production of
Being healthy is a topic that is on everyone mind in today’s society. Everywhere you look, whether on televisions, advertisements or by word of mouth, people are trying to live, eat and just do better. Health may and can include taking medication for a short or long-term period of time. For some medicine may be needed daily for the rest of their lives. Health is the general condition of a person in all aspects. It is also a level of functional and or metabolic efficiency of a human. Every human being
Therefore, the best antacid is Alcalak. It may be assumed that that Alka-Seltzer would be the best type of antacid used to neutralize stomach acid since it is a common pharmaceutical drug that’s name has been of common word. In other words, this experiment would have been more stable accurate with the use of a volumetric pipette
Both physicians and consumers/patients rely on the Pharmaceutical industry to adequately provide medication to address public health concerns ranging from depression to obesity, to name a few. Thus, an increased reliance on pharmaceutical industries leads to the creation of one of the largest and most profitable corporations to exist across the world. However, because pharmaceutical companies profit from the drugs they sell, they now have incentives to influence the public in buying the drugs they
A compound is made up of different elements. Bath bombs were first invented in 1989 by Lush co-founder Mo Constantine. She was inspired by the fast fizzing chemicals of an Alka Seltzer Tab (Hong, 2017). The author states, “She achieved that fizzy base renown throughout bathtubs worldwide with a simple combination of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and citric acid” (Hong, 2017). Bath bombs contain ingredients that are good for
Tom Nguyen Mike Noah University of Central Florida 07/03/17 Analysis of Antacids to Determine Which is the Most Effective at Neutralizing Stomach Acid Abstract: This experiment was performed to determine the factors of an antacid that lead to stomach acid neutralization. Multiple over the counter antacids were tested for each lab group along with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) being identified as the titrant and Hydrochloric acid (HCl) being identified as the analyte for the reactants. Each antacid
reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach. They can help relieve heartburn. There are many different types of nonprescription acid reducers in stores. Different ingredients can have different effects. Sodium bicarbonate antacids ( such as Alka-Seltzer) contain baking soda. People who have high blood pressure or on a salt restricted diet may want to avoid these because sodium bicarbonate antacids contain aspirin which is linked to Reye syndrome. Calcium carbonate antacids can be used as calcium
Observation Summary On December 15th, 2015, I shadowed the Radiology Department at the Geary County Hospital. I observed for four hours and observed five different procedures. The first procedure that I observed was an Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP). This procedure lasted about an hour so it took up a good portion of my morning. After this procedure, I went to different rooms and observed a clavicle x-ray, a chest x-ray, lung biopsy, and an upper GI. The IVP and upper GI patients were older than 50
