Methane
When you put an eggshell in a sports drink, the acidic environment of the drink can react with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell. This reaction often produces carbon dioxide gas, resulting in bubbling or fizzing as the gas escapes. Over time, the eggshell will begin to dissolve, leading to a reduction in its size as the calcium is leached out. This demonstrates the effects of acid on calcium-based materials.
When an egg is placed in hydrogen peroxide, a chemical reaction occurs. The hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen gas, releasing bubbles of oxygen. The oxygen gas bubbles adhere to the surface of the egg and create a foam-like appearance. This reaction is due to the catalase enzyme present in the eggshell, which catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide.
Eggshell
Vinegar is an acid that reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, causing it to break down and dissolve. This process creates bubbles of carbon dioxide gas, which weakens the structure of the eggshell and makes it soft.
The eggshell is porous.
When nitric acid is added to eggshell, a chemical reaction occurs where the calcium carbonate in the eggshell is dissolved by the acid. This reaction produces carbon dioxide gas, water, and calcium nitrate. The eggshell will dissolve, leaving behind a liquid containing dissolved calcium nitrate.
