What is present in an egg shell which help to produce carbon dioxide?

The shell is made of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), which produces Carbon Dioxide gas on reaction with acid (such as Vinegar).


Which solution reacts with egg shell to give out carbon dioxide?

its the fact that


Why do gases travel across the shell of a reptile egg?

The embryo inside the egg is carrying out cellular respiration. In order for it to do that oxygen must be able to enter the egg and carbon dioxide must be able to leave.


Why does a egg go bouncy when you put it in vinegar?

The vinegar makes the egg soft because, the vinegar has a chemical reaction due to the Carbon Dioxide in the vinegar which has an effect on the egg. That's why the egg's shell dissolves off, and the egg gets soft.Correction:A raw egg will NOT bounce when dropped into vinegar. The egg must sit in vinegar for about 24 hours, so that the vinegar will react with the carbon dioxide in the egg shell, before the egg will become soft and rubbery. See link below.


Why does the egg becomes transparent and bouncing when it is placed in the venigar solution?

The egg shell is made up of calcium carbonate, and when that comes intact with acetic acid, which is in the vinegar, it causes a chemical reaction which causes carbon dioxide to come out of the shell and make the egg visible inside.

Why does vinegar eat the shell off the egg?

Because there is a large component of calcium carbonate in the egg shell. Remember Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. 2CH3COOH + CaCO3 = Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2


What is the function of microscopic holes in an chicken egg?

The microscopic holes in the shell of a chicken egg are made by imperfect packing of the calcium carbonate crystals. The pores make up about 10% of the surface of the egg. Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse through these pores. As the egg ages, more carbon dioxide enters the cell and the albumin becomes runny, the yolk flattens and may adhere to the inside of the shell, and the egg will have a stale taste. It is through these pores that bacteria enter the egg and it will become rotten and form the typical hydrogen sulfide smell of a rotten egg.


What happen to the shell of an egg when it soak in acetic acid?

The shell (Calcium carbonate) dissolves in acetic acid and forms water and carbon dioxide. CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH --> Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2


Carbon dioxide sucks an egg into a bottle?

Yes it does


Why is it important that an amniotic egg shell is semi permeable?

Allows gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through but prevents the embryo from drying out by holding water inside.


Why would you remove the egg shell first if it were to be placed in vinegar?

Egg shells is made up of calcium carbonate. Vinegar aka ethanoic acid is a type of acid. When vinegar come upon contact with the egg shell, the egg shell will corrode making it weak and fragile. In terms of science, this is what happens: Calcium carbonate + acid will produce calcium salt + water + carbon dioxide CaCO3 + CH3COOH -> CH3COOCa + H2O + CO2 .
