Rate of Reaction-Report The purpose of this lab was to find the rate of reaction. I watched to see how fast Alka-Seltzer would react with different liquids. I changed the type of liquid from water to vinegar for some of the experiments. I also used one tablet that was solid and one that I had crushed up to see the differences. I changed the temperature with each new experiment, except when I was comparing and contrasting solid to ground up tablets. I always used the same amount of liquid also. The tablet that was ground up always dissolved quicker than...
dissolved faster in water than in vinegar. I personally thought that the tablets would actually dissolve faster in vinegar.Type of Liquid Amount of LiquidmL Temperature of Liquid ?é??C Consistency of Tablet Time of Reaction Seconds
