Research Notes
. Fizz tablets cause the bubbles
. More tablets at once= more bubbles
. Too much water= more bubbles
. Too much oil means more bubble space
. The fizz comes from baking powder
. Baking powder reaction is caused by acid reacting with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
. Alka-Seltzer ingredients contain citric acid and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
. When you drop the tablet in water, acid and baking soda react, this produces the fizz
. Think of it as compressed baking soda with a little aspirin mixed in
