Alka Seltzer is primarily sodium bicarbonate. The bubbles form from the chemical reaction of sodium bicarbonate and water. The release of the bubbles cause the tablet to break down and dissolve.

Why alka-seltzer in vinegar produces more bubbles than alka-seltzer in water?
Because vinegar is acidic and water neutral, alka-seltzer will produce a better reaction in vinegar. This is because the alka-seltzer is basic with a ph of approx. 9.2 and vinegar is acidic with around 4 I think. Water has a ph of 7 making it neutral, and the higher the difference in numbers on ph scale, the bigger reaction(provided one is acidic(below 7) and one is basic(above 7)).
What causes an exothermic reaction with alka seltzer?
Alka-Seltzer contains aspirin, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and citric acid. When placed in water, the tablet dissolves. The citric acid reacts with the baking soda, and gives off carbon dioxide, which makes bubbles in the water. If you have heartburn, that is caused by too much stomach acid. The baking soda in an Alka-Seltzer counteracts the stomach acid.
