Is it safe to take Alka Seltzer and Tylenol together?
Both contain acetominophen, it being the active ingredient in Tylenol, it is either one or the other.
What is the pH of alka seltzer?
Alka-Seltzer does not have a pH value because it is a medication used to treat symptoms like heartburn and indigestion, not a solution with measurable acidity or basicity.
Is alka seltzer neutral?
Alka seltzer is technically both. It is a dry mixture of sodium bicarbonate (a base) and citric acid (an acid). When mixed with water, the acid and base react with each other and produce carbon dioxide (the fizz), and sodium citrate.
Is adding alkali to acid a chemical or physical change?
This is a chemical change, because the carbon dioxide is created from the ingredients when placed in solution. The effervescence is caused when citric acid and sodium bicarbonate combine to form sodium citrate, releasing carbon dioxide gas.
Can one cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer?
Generally speaking, Alka-Seltzer can help prevent a UTI at the very onset of the infection, but it can't cure the cause of a UTI. If your symptoms disappear after taking this medication, you still should see a doctor to make sure the bacteria is gone since UTIs can do further damages to your body if left untreated. In fact, uti can be cured radically by herbal medicine named diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill. Both the symptoms and the causes can be eliminated.
Can you take alka seltzer and imodium together?
Yes. In the past my doctor has had me on both at the same time, taking each several times daily, but only for 2 or 3 days at a time.
Alka seltzer in water a chemical change?
Yes, when Alka-Seltzer tablets are placed in water, a chemical reaction occurs. The tablets contain baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and citric acid, which react to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas release is a physical manifestation of a chemical change.
Why does water dissolve an alka seltzer tablet faster then hydrogen peroxide?
Water dissolves Alka-Seltzer tablets faster than hydrogen peroxide because water is a polar solvent, which means it has both positive and negative charges that interact with the ions in the tablet, breaking them down more quickly. Hydrogen peroxide is a nonpolar solvent, so it interacts less effectively with the ions in the tablet, resulting in a slower dissolution process.
Ingredients in alka seltzer plus cold?
Alka seltzer contains a combination of aspirin, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). The aspirin works to relieve headaches and muscle pain. The last two ingredients, citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, are simply a mixture of a weak acid and a weak base (when you add alka seltzer to water, the fizzing is the reaction of the two with each other). When you have a weak acid and a weak base, the result is a buffer solution, which works to stabilize the pH.Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic acid) is also a weak acid which would be water soluble. However, in drinking water it will dissolve slowly. Adding a weak base (sodium bicarbonate) would help force the aspirin into it's conjugate base form, increasing the polarity, and thus increase solubility.Other WikiAnswers pages indicate a pH of 9.2, a basic solution which is probably to increase the solubility of the Aspirin, as well as both buffering the effects of Aspirin's acidity on the stomach lining, as well as working as an antacid to buffer the stomach acid.One notes, of course, that Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) dissociates in water (with the help of acetic acid) into Na+ OH- CO2, I.E. Sodium Hydroxide, a base, and Carbon Dioxide which would be the direct cause of the fizzing effect.See the Web Links and Related Questions to the left for more information.

Is ibuprofen the same as Motrin?
