Question
What happens when nitric acid is added to egg shell?
✓

Answer

When nitric acid is added to egg shell, it dissolves egg shell. Egg shell is composed of calcium carbonate which dissolves in nitric acid. The reaction between nitric acid and calcium carbonate yields calcium nitrate and carbon dioxide gas.
CaCO3(s) + 2HNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
