This is a straightforward, fun project to measure the rate of the chemical reaction that occurs when Alka-Seltzer tablets are plopped into water. You'll track the volume of carbon dioxide gas produced at regular intervals after the...

The ingredients in Alka-Seltzer tablets undergo a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide gas as soon as the tablets hit water. Do you think you can cause the tablets to produce gas faster by breaking them into smaller pieces...

By using Alka-Seltzer and different temperatures of water, you can determine the effect of the water temperature on the chemical reaction of the tablet. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an...
