Fizzies were popular in the ‘60s & ‘70s They were “instant fizz” tablets sold by the Emerson Drug Company in the US who also made “Bromo Seltzer” headache remedy. They work by the reaction of an acid and a base. Today we’re going to try making some but for the best taste, you have to get the ratio just right!

The only way to get it right every time is to add the chemicals in the right ratio is your drink too sour? too chalky?.. or just right? The only way to get it right every time is to add the chemicals in the right ratio

How many moles do you have in 0.5g? How many moles of citric acid will react with one mole of NaHCO 3 ? (look at the ratio in the chemical equation) So how many moles of citric acid will you need to add? Calculate the mass of citric acid to add … We’ll add 0.5g of NaHCO 3. How many moles do you have in 0.5g? How many moles of citric acid will react with one mole of NaHCO 3 ? (look at the ratio in the chemical equation) So how many moles of citric acid will you need to add? Calculate the mass of citric acid to add … Let’s work out the ideal ratio for the acid and base to mix in so neither is left over … Check your answer with me before making up your second fizzy drink mix to see if it is any tastier 192 g/mol84 g/mol 0.5/84 = moles 1/3 rd of a mole /3 = moles moles x 192 g/mol = 0.38g
