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, the protein in the eggshell reacts with the hydrogen peroxide, causing it to foam and bubble. This reaction is the breaking down of the eggshell due to the release of oxygen gas. The eggshell will eventually dissolve, leaving the egg membrane intact.
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.
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.
The eggshell is porous.
