Alka Seltzer is a medicine that acts as a pain reliever and an antacid. Antacids are used to help neutralize the acids in the stomach and help treat acid reflux, heartburn, indigestion, and gastritis. The tablets contain sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and citric acid (C6H8O7). The sodium bicarbonate is a base that helps neutralize the acids in the stomach, mainly hydrochloric acid (HCl). It does this by the following reaction: Na3C3H5O7(aq) + 3HCl(aq) H3C3H5O7(aq) + 3NaCl(aq). When the tablets are dropped into the water, a reaction occurs in which water (H2O), sodium citrate (Na3C6H5O7), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are formed.
Gastritis, one of the conditions Alka Seltzer helps treat, occurs when the stomach lining is damaged or weak. There are
I conclude that the warmer water you have the less time it will take for the Alka Seltzer to dissolve completely. If you have cold water it will take longer to dissolve.
Alka Seltzer is a medical drug used for pain relief and used for relieving indigestion. For example, if you have a stomachache or some indigestion problems, Alka Seltzer may help neutralize the stomach acidity. Not only that, Alka Seltzer is also used for cleaning household items, such as vases or jewelry. Alka Seltzer contains citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, which makes it dissolve and release carbon dioxide gas when dropped in water. In this experiment, my lab partner, Rebecca, and I are trying to find a way to make Alka Seltzer dissolve faster in water. Rebecca and I both decide that if we increase the temperature of the water or make the water hotter, then the Alka Seltzer will dissolve faster because I know when salt and sugar dissolve in hot water, they dissolve faster. I predict that this same result would apply to this experiment.
Introduction: Alka-seltzer contains three active ingredients, aspirin, sodium hydrogen carbonate and citric acid. It is used for headaches, migraines, and cold and flu symptoms. Alka-Seltzer is usually taken when dissolved in a glass of water. When placed in water a series of chemical reactions result into Sodium citrate and Sodium acetylsalicylate. The sodium citrate would act as the antacid for stomach pains, and the sodium acetylsalicylate would act as the pain reliever.
In this lab we tested how changing the content of the water affects the speed of the alka seltzer dissolving. My hypothesis was that the tap water would dissolve the tablet fastest, the salt water would be second fastest, and the sugar water would be the slowest. I was correct that the tap water would dissolve the fastest, but I was wrong in that the salt water would dissolve faster than the sugar water. I think that our results came out the way they did because of the amount of sugar and salt we put into the water. When we put the sugar and salt into the beakers, we came up with those measurements on the spot. After the salt and sugar had been added, the salt water was very cloudy, but you could barely tell the tap water from the sugar water.

During the Harlem Renaissance, many African-Americans were able to reveal and experience their culture through music, literature, and art. In the poem "Bottled", Helene Johnson writes a narrative about someone experiencing the Harlem Renaissance. Helene Johnson, a poet during the Harlem Renaissance, appears to have wrote "Bottled" as an example of African-Americans realizing their heritage and being proud of where they originated. The poem "Bottled" does tell a story of one seeking their heritage by observing someone letting loose and embracing their own origins by dancing on the streets of Harlem. Though at first the narrator seems confused, later he or she discovers the true meaning of this person's action. The title "Bottled" itself seems to refer to the roots of many African Americans that were hidden and could not be expressed. Through Helene Johnson's choice of diction and target audience, the poem "Bottled" has a meaning of heritage and finding one's roots.
This classy frozen treat only needs a champagne or prosecco, mango nectar and frozen peaches.

The Pika lives near the mountain areas. They eat different types of grasses, weeds, and thistles but their favourite food is grass. The Pika’s special and distinctive features are that they have no tail and they have a very tiny body size. You don’t really need to worry about them because they are perfectly fine. They have fur to keep them warm.
The stomach naturally produces acid, which is mainly responsible for food digestion and destruction of any foreign pathogen or bacteria ingested with food. Acid is secreted by stimulating the partial cells located in the inner lining of the stomach to release acid in response to a stimulant of food ingested, sight of food, smell, or taste. This acid secretion renders the stomach pH to be very low, this strong acid is an irritant to the stomach. In protection of the stomach, a mucus layer is present to shield the lining of the stomach from damage caused by the acid. When this protective mucus layer is damaged, ulcers are formed and even to the point of perforation of stomach (hole that causes a bleed in the stomach).
tuberculosis, ulcer, acid reflux, colitis, diarrhea, constipation, urinary tract infection, and are known to prevent certain cancers (prostate cancer and colon cancer). These heath drinks also help control blood pressure, diabetes and maintain blood sugar levels. Furthermore, they provide a calming sensation, against depression, anxiety and ADHD.
General measures include drinking clear liquids and eating small quantities of dry food, such as soda crackers. If individuals lose the ability to eat or drink and become dehydrated due to repetitive vomiting they may develop metabolic alkalosis and hypokalemia. Intravenous fluids such as half normal saline with 20 mEq potassium chloride may be given to maintain hydration. With persistent vomiting, a nasogastric tube may decompress the stomach and improve overall comfort.
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
Antasida will not treat an ulcer that might formed due to gastritis, but will reduce the stomach acid so that the abdominal pain decreases. If the gastritis occurs because of what you eat and drink too much acidic drinks such as coffee and soda, and eat too many processed or fatty foods; taking antacids after
They are great in neutralizing acids as well. Cancer loves to grow in an acidic environment. Alkalizing your body may stop cancer cells to grow and may reduce the risk of getting cancer in the first place.
