Drug Label Information

Alka-Seltzer contains three active ingredients: aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) (ASA), sodium bicarbonate, and anhydrous citric acid.

The reaction in this activity involves using sodium bicarbonate and citric acid to produce water and carbon dioxide. The tablets contain sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and citric acid. When the tablet is dissolved in water, bicarbonate (HCO3–) and hydrogen ions (H+) are formed.
