What happens when alka-seltzer dissolves in oil?
When Alka-Seltzer is dissolved in oil, it will not mix due to the difference in polarity between the two substances. This is because Alka-Seltzer is designed to dissolve in water, not oil. As a result, the Alka-Seltzer tablet will not fully dissolve in the oil and may be left floating on top or form clumps.
