Years ago for a science class experiment we filled balloons with the gas from Alka Seltzer tablets mixed with some liquid, and then let the balloons float away. I'm pretty sure we mixed them with water in that experiment. I know that creates carbon dioxide, but will a balloon filled with Co2 float, or did we use something other than water, and create something other than Co2?
I guess a better way to state the question would be; Alka Seltzer mixed with what liquid will create a gas that is lighter than air and would make a balloon float?
