Aids and chemicals
  

Beaker

egg shell, 8 % solution of acetic acid (CH3COOH) - vinegar.

[ Back

Working process:

 

Break egg shell into a beaker and pull as much vinegar as cover the whole shell. Observe the changes.

Observation
  

Po chvíli sa na povrchu vaječnej škrupiny začnú tvoriť malé bublinky, ktoré časom unikajú k hladine.

[ Back ]

Interpretation

Egg shell contains 97 % mineral substances. 93 % of them are formed into calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and the rest is magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) and phosphates.

KWhen vinegar - 8 % solution of acetic acid is pulled on egg shell, calcium carbonate reacts with acetic acid and calcium salt of acetate acid is formed. The product of this reaction is CO2 that evolves as bubles.

Exhalate annihilation

No dengerous substances is formed in the experiment. All glass can be washed by water.
