 * ALKA-SELTZER AND ITS GAS PRODUCING PROPERTIES**

The purpose of this study was to find which situations make an Alka-Seltzer create more gas faster than others. Alka-Seltzer is a perfect combination of an acid and a base. When water is added, the reaction of acids and bases creates bubbles and carbon dioxide. An Alka-Seltzer of each flavor was put in a cup and the time it took to pop off the cap was recorded. After the tests where done, it was found that Orange Zest flavored Alka-Seltzer popped off the cap the fastest. The reason this occurs is caused by the flavors and coloring added to the Orange Zest Alka-Seltzer to increase the speed of gas production.
 * ABSTRACT**

If further experimentation was to be done, good topics would be how much gas Alka-Seltzer creates in different temperatures of water. This could show if Alka-Seltzer could be put in a hot drink or a cold drink. Mixing different flavors of Alka-Seltzer to see if gas is created faster would be a good experiment testing chemical properties of Alka-Seltzer mixed.
