Abstract
This invention provides a tablet that effervesces and significantly warms the water that it is dissolved in. The effervescence acts to break up the tablet allowing an exothermic material to rapidly dissolve releasing its heat of solution. The invention is unique in that no organic acid is required to form a conventional effervescent couple.
