Determination of Calcium Carbonate in Eggshells – Background The major component of eggshells is calcium carbonate‚ CaCO3(s). This analysis is done volumetrically by using a characteristic reaction of carbonate compounds‚ namely their reaction with acids. Calcium carbonate (limestone) is very insoluble in pure water but readily reacts in acid according to the reaction below. 2HCl(aq) + CaCO3(s) → CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) + HCl(aq) (in excess) (limiting reagent) (1) (unreacted)

Phosphoproteins of the chicken eggshell calcified layer The chicken eggshell matrix is a complex mixture of proteins and proteoglycans. It also contains phosphoproteins that are thought to affect mineralization of the matrix. Several of the matrix phosphoproteins‚ such as the major component osteopontin‚ have already been identified as phosphoproteins in other tissues‚ but the phosphorylation status of the eggshell matrix forms was unknown. The phosphopeptides‚ obtained after cleavage of the matrix

Effects of Soda on the Body “It may seem harmless to allow your child to drink soda every day. Thinking that soda won’t cause the child any immediate harm is unfortunately common.” (Khara) Unfortunately for the United States‚ it’s one of the first countries to start drinking soft drinks. Soda can also be termed as soft drink‚ coke or fizzy drink and is consumed by all ages worldwide. (Khara) Soft drinks can cause tooth decay‚ dehydration‚ obesity and more‚ and also contain tons of preservatives

is to determine whether different brands of caged or free-range hen eggs have stronger shells. This project will prove whether caged or free-range hen eggshells are stronger. HYPOTHESIS: My hypothesis for this project is that free-range hen eggshells‚ in all of different brands are stronger than caged hen eggshells. I choose free-range eggshells‚ because their diet and lifestyle would be different from caged eggs. EQUIPMENT: * 24 Free-range hen eggs (3 different brands) * 24 Caged

What are eggshells made of? The main ingredient in eggshells is calcium carbonate (the same brittle white stuff that chalk‚ limestone‚ cave stalactites‚ sea shells‚ coral‚ and pearls are made of). The shell itself is about 95% CaCO3 (which is also the main ingredient in sea shells). The remaining 5% includes calcium phosphate and magnesium carbonate and soluble and insoluble proteins.

THE EFFECT OF SODA ON TOOTH ENAMEL Literature review Soda is one of society’s favorite beverages. Each year‚ billions of gallons of soda are sold in the United States alone. Though it is popular with people of all age groups‚ many experts believe drinking soda may have serious health consequences. Some studies have shown a link between drinking soda and tooth decay and enamel erosion. However some people believe that many experiments are invalid due to the lack of certain factors

Introduction The major component of eggshells is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Calcium carbonate cannot be dissolved in water‚ but can dissolve in an acid using the reaction: 2HCl(aq)+CaCO3(s) Ca2+(aq)+CO2(g)+H2O+2HCl-(aq) This reaction is not used to titrate the CaCO3 because it is very slow when the reaction is close to the endpoint. Instead adding an excess of acid to dissolve all of the CaCO3 and then titrating the remaining H3O+ with NaOH solution can achieve the determination of the amount

The Effects of Soda Pop on the Body Angela Fugate Fortis College English 101 August 27‚ 2013 “I’ll take a large Coke please.” Words I find myself saying way too habitually and way too often. Opening the refrigerator and grabbing a soda pop is easy to do in our fast paced society of today. It takes too long to get a cup out of the cabinet‚ grab the milk or juice out of the refrigerator‚ and pour. At least this is my way of thinking. I want something that is quick and easy. Americans

The Detrimental Effects of Soda What is your favorite soda? Coke? Do you know what is in soda? Cutting down on soda can lead to a healthy and better lifestyle. Studies show that soda‚ though it tastes good‚ has many negative effects that outweigh the positive effects. Soda‚ especially diet‚ is detrimental to the health of your body. My cousin ’s teacher did an experiment with coke. She put a tooth in coke and left it for at least a week. The next time they checked the tooth had disintegrated
