I think you mean acetic acid.
Eggshells contain calcium carbonate, CaCO3, which is a base.

CaCO3 + 2H+ --> [Ca2+ + H2CO3] --> Ca2+ + CO2 + H2O
Eggshells contain calcium carbonate, CaCO3, which is a mono and diprotic base.

How do you correct for proper pH balance in garden?
Lime, eggshells and oyster shells are good ways to neutralize soil pH (make an acidic soil more alkaline).
Is nh4clo4 basic or acidic?

How do eggshells neutralize acidic acid?
Eggshells contain the calcium carbonate, which is a base. It is the same substance found in limestone. The carbonate (CO32-) ion reacts with acids to form the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-), or carbonic acid (H2CO3), a very weak acid that easily breaks down.
Is sugarcane acidic or alkaline?
Sugarcane is acidic.
Is NH4NO3 in water acidic neutral or basic?
NH4+ ions are weakly acidic (pKa=9.23) and NO3- is neutral. So pH is about 5 for dilute solutions.
What is the purpose of cement neutralizer?
Most finishes require a neutral surface to adhere properly. This takes the surface from the alkaline or acidic state to the preferred preparation to accept finish.

What is egg dye?
A chemical solution (either natural or industrial) used to color eggshells. The dye is composed of water and the pigment molecules, which bind to the surface of an egg. Most dyes used for coloring eggs are mildly acidic.
Which equation represents the neutralization of acidic gastric fluid?
Gastric fluid would be hydrochloric acid. Calcium carbonate would be a common neutralizer. CaCO3 + 2HCl -> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O a salt, water and carbon dioxide gas ( burp!) as products of this neutralization reaction.
How many stomachs does a chicken have?
one.Their single stomach has two compartments:the proventriculus is a acidic compartmentthe gizzard is a muscular grinding compartment.
What causes the texture of chicken to change and get kind of rubbery?
The changing of the texture of chicken to a rubbery state can be caused by the loss of moisture. It can also be caused by an acidic reaction. It is like the wishbone being soaked in vinegar. The acid in the vinegar makes the chicken bone rubbery.
Does pineapple juice affect chicken texture?
Yes, pineapple left long on any meat will make it mushy. It is the acidic nature of pineapple.
Can baking soda lower the pH level in my pool?
Baking soda is not the best choice as it more readily increases Total Alkalinity. Soda ash on the other hand will do an excellent job. (available at most hardware stores as an acid neutralizer)

What liquid will make an egg soften?
Liquids such as cola and orange juice affect egg shells by weakening the shell. The acids found in cola and orange juice when combined with the calcium carbonate found in the egg shells result in the egg shells becoming softer.
