What happens when egg shell is added to nitric acid?

Answer»

Egg shell is made of calcium carbonate. When calcium carbonate reacts with nitric acid, it gives carbon dioxide, calcium nitrate and water. Same reaction happens when nitric acid is poured over egg shell.

CaCO3 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3 )2 + CO2 + H2O
