What factors did you investigate in your procedure, and why did you choose to compare these two factors? What other factors did you need to control during your investigation? Explain how you controlled each one in your procedure. What is your prediction about the results of each trial in your lab? Explain your predictions based on your knowledge of the dissolving process, collision theory, and reaction rates. Explain the collision theory, in your own words, and what is necessary for a collision to be successful.
The reaction that you will be investigating is the reaction that occurs when an Alka-Seltzer tablet is placed into a given amount of water. Alka-Seltzer is an over-the-counter antacid and pain relief medication that is dissolved in water before it is ingested. Each tablet contains aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate. As the tablet dissolves in water, the bicarbonate ions in the tablet react with the hydrogen ions from the acids that are also contained in the tablet. The carbon dioxide gas that is produced by the reaction is what causes the bubbling that can be observed
