Question

Name the type of reaction takes place between vinegar and the egg shell and also write th
balanced chemical equation.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A chemical reaction takes place when the egg is placed in vinegar. The calcium carbonate in the eggshell and the acetic acid in vinegar interact to form carbonic acid and calcium acetate. Next, the carbonic acid breaks down to form carbon dioxide and water. This reaction dissolves the eggshell.

Answer 2

Answer:

The reaction of the eggshell in vinegar is an acid-base reaction. When you submerge an egg in vinegar, the shell dissolves, leaving the inner semi-permeable membrane intact. Vinegar (acid) breaks apart the solid calcium carbonate crystals (base) in the eggshell into their calcium and carbonate parts.
