Alka Seltzer Lab Report

Conclusion:

For our hypothesis we thought that the seltzer would dissolve the alka seltzer the fastest, because the seltzer was already carbonated. After doing the experiment we found out that the seltzer was the 2nd fastest at dissolving the tablet, and the water dissolved the alka seltzer 6 seconds faster than the seltzer. This being said our hypothesis turned out to be wrong because the water (fastest to dissolve the alka seltzer) has fewer chemicals, so it dissolved the tablet faster. We thought the less chemicals the slower the alka seltzer would dissolve. Although after conducting the experiment we found through data that the more chemicals in the liquid, the slower the tablet would dissolve in them. Our testable question was, what is the effect of different liquids on the dissolving rate of the alka seltzer. To answer this question we dissolved alka seltzer in three different liquids, and recorded the data we found. After testing water three times …show more content…

Next testing seltzer three times as well, we found the average dissolving rate of 66 seconds. Finally three trials of juice getting the dissolving rate average of 73 seconds. A pattern that was found is that the water data is more consistent than the data for the juice and the seltzer. We know this because the data for the juice has a 16 second difference. The data for the seltzer came to a difference of 27 seconds. Finally the waters difference is 12 seconds, the most
