Effervescent tablet is an essential food for many people in daily life. It is liked by many white-collar workers. Effervescent tablet can help us supplement vitamins. Can many people eat effervescent tablet with it? Can effervescent tablet be eaten directly?
No, effervescent tablets contain effervescent disintegration agents, citric acid, various flavors and starch, but also contain sodium bicarbonate. The large amount of gas after foaming is sodium bicarbonate. When dried clothes take effervescent tablets, effervescent tablets will produce large amounts of carbon dioxide gas in the stomach, which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, cause flatulence, and lead to suffocation.
What to do if I eat the effervescent tablet directly
Don't worry. There won't be any serious consequences if you take a effervescent tablet by mistake. It's just that it's very water-soluble. Just drink more water
Eat directly also need not worry too much, to gastric mucous membrane stimulation is not big. If you feel bad in your stomach, on the one hand, it is caused by the tension in your heart. On the other hand, there may be inflammation in the stomach itself.
What is the principle of effervescent tablets
Let's start with the principle of foaming. Citric acid and sodium bicarbonate are added to the effervescent tablets. Because they are both solid and heterogeneous systems, the reaction rate is very slow. Once added to the water, it will become an aqueous solution, and the reaction rate will be accelerated to produce a large amount of carbon dioxide.
Then why is the foaming accelerating dissolution? The result of the quick reaction of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate is to form a large number of pores on the surface of the effervescent tablet, increase the surface area (increase the probability of collision by water molecules), so as to accelerate the dissolution of other ingredients in the tablet.
Of course, it can't be sealed. The reaction produces carbon dioxide and the pressure of the system increases.
