Vinegar is acidic and acid is the enemy of calcium(that's why sodas are harmful to our bodys calcium levels). That's why the shell rubs off so easily

Calcium tablets to be chewed?

You can chew some calcium tablets. When buying the tablets make sure it says chew-able.


Is vinegar consumption bad for the human bone?

At the volumes you would be able to drink vinegar at, no. The acidity would never reach the bone - it would be absorbed and neutralized in the stomach and upper small intestines.


What would happen if you tried to swallow a lump of the element calcium without the compound calcium?

Your body would not be able to absorb the pure element calcium as-is. In its elemental form, calcium is not soluble in water and cannot be efficiently digested. It is essential to consume calcium in compounds like calcium carbonate, found in foods and supplements, for it to be effectively utilized by the body. Swallowing a lump of pure calcium could lead to digestive issues or blockages.


How do you get the element calcium?

In 1808, Humphry Davy invented a system for melting compounds of elements that were difficult to separate by usual methods. He passed an electric current through the compound, causing the compounds to break into parts. The element that he used this method on was calcium. By melting calcium carbonate (CaCO3)-which is a common compound of calcium-and passing an electric current, he was able to create a pure form of calcium.


What do you call the deposition of calcium salts into bone tissue?

The deposition of calcium salts into bone tissue is called mineralization or calcification. This process helps to strengthen and harden the bones, making them more rigid and able to support the body.

What is the purpose of the egg and vinegar experiment?

"The presence of the acid in vinegar, forced the egg shell to soften, because of the chemical reaction of the acid and calcium carbonate in the egg shell." I edited it a little for you.


How do you get Honey out of carpet?

Honey is water soluble so you should be able to remove it with plain water. And also use vinegar solution to remove stain.


How does calcium obey the octet rule when reating to form compounds?

Calcium is a group 2 element and typically loses 2 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell. By losing these 2 electrons, calcium is able to achieve an octet configuration in its outermost shell, similar to the noble gas configuration.


How does apple cider vinegar affect a chicken bone?

it makes the bone rubbery and can make it bendy


What happens when you put a chicken bone in vinegar?

When you soak bones in vinegar what will happen is that the chicken bone will weaken and the bone will become more flexible. So after soaking the chicken bone into vinegar for a week the bone will be so flexible that it will be able to bend. This is a great science fair project also.


Why does boiled egg change in vinigar?

because of the chemical reaction between the vinegar and the egg shell. If you put a raw egg in vinegar it will dissolve and only the membrane will be left it is cool looking. It is like you have a ball that has liquid inside it XD


What chemicals remove silicone from wood?

If you wish to remove silicone from wood, you should be able to just peel it off. It does not require a solvent. However, if you do need a solvent, I recommend vinegar.


Does vinegar make a bone flexible?

Vinegar affects bone density on a couple of fronts. First off is that it makes otherwise "insoluble" calcium soluble. That makes it able to be absorbed by the body. This can be witnessed in the old high school experiment where you dissolve eggshells in vinegar. The reaction is: CaCO3 + 2CH3COO -> Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O +CO2 Once paired with vinegar, the calcium takes on the form of calcium acetate, which is soluble, so the calcium is absorbed and able to be utilized by bone. A second, lesser known reason, is that the main acid in vinegar, acetic acid, lowers the amount of phosphorus the body can absorb. Phosphorus is a strong acid from meats and beans and grains unlike the weak acid of vinegar. Normally a certain amount of calcium will cleave to a certain amount of phosphorus and they will cancel each other out. When vinegar gets involved, less calcium is needed to cancel out a greater proportion of phosphorus and therefore less phosphorus is absorbed. If too much phosphorus came through, calcium would have been taken from bone to neutralize it. This is one of the reasons a children's bones grow so rapidly. Children have a high ratio of good bacteria in their colon that synthesize acetic, as well as lactic, and other acids from the fiber or lactose that is eaten. As we grow older we don't eat the right foods to support these guys. On a side note, that is one of the reasons Honey is good for bones as well. It specifically feeds these guys and keeps them cranking out acetic acid. Finally, while an acid, vinegar is like fruit in that the end product is not an acid at all. Once all of these reactions take place, the end products as you can see above are water and CO2. We breath out the CO2 into the air and end up with a net positive of base.

You should be able to. It would change the flavor slightly.


Why is the number of electrons in the final shell important?

The number of electrons in the final shell is important because it determines the number of bonds an atom can form with other atoms. Example: If there are 8 electrons in the final shell then that means the shell is not able to contain any more electrons and the atom will not be able to make bonds (He). However, if there are 7 electrons in the final shell then the shell has room for one more electron, and will be able to form one bond (F).
