Alka-Seltzer was chosen for this experiment based on its properties which allow for a fast chemical reaction. The fizzling that occurs is the result of the chemical reaction going underway. Based on its relative ease of use and clear depiction of reaction rates‚ Alka-Seltzer was an idea choice as the substance to be tested. The chemical reaction pathway of the Alka-Seltzer

PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE Relationship Between Science and Philosophy Difficult subject to define‚ like the philosophy itself. • Philosophy deals with questions that sciences have been unable to answer‚ and perhaps will never answer. • Why the sciences cannot find and answer to these questions. • How science should proceed to find an answer to such questions. Scientific advancements influence philosophic debates and vice versa. So‚ Philosophy and science need each other
