      @@gothicanimegirl44 you take a large seashell that has a wide area to work on.
      Like on the side of cowries, Bivalaves and similar. As long as it has a relatively wide surface to work on. Then using a paint brush, Paint your desired design on the shell's surface. The color of your paint doesn't matter since your going to take it off afterwards. Then let it dry. After that put some Muriatic acid on a bowl of some sort (we used to put it in a coconut shell) and dip the face of the shell where you had the design and let it bubble for a few seconds depending on the thickness of the shell you used. The acid will melt the shell with direct contact on it and the paint will protect the surface it was applied to, creating a embossed effect.

  • @Arfonfree
    @Arfonfree 5 лет назад +34

    Why sulfuric acid was different: When an acid reacts with calcium carbonate, the anion of the acid replaces the carbonate anion. So calcium carbonate becomes calcium sulfate. And calcium sulfate is not very soluble, so it stays in place and forms a barrier to further reaction. The other resultants: calcium nitrate, calcium chloride, and calcium acetate are much more soluble, so the reaction will continue.

    • @Ryan-lu9km
      @Ryan-lu9km 3 года назад +1

      Their sulfuric acid was also weak (0.1 molar), so the reaction would be slow anyways.
      With more concentrated acid, they would likely see a faster reaction, but what you said is true : the calcium sulfate forms a barrier, preventing further reaction.

      The hydrochloric acid(HCl) reacts with the shells to create water, calcium chloride and carbon dioxide. Calcium chloride, like sodium chloride is soluble and so disulves into the acid to expose more shell , the the same reaction with sulfuric acid happens except instead of the very soluble calcium chloride, it produces calcium sulfate(same thing plaster is made from), which will pile up on the shell because it is unable to disulve in the acid, protecting the shell

    This is why ocean acidification is so dangerous for shellfish and coral reefs. Their shells will dissolve and leave them vulnerable to predation. Much of our oceanic ecosystem is dependent on these creatures interacting with each other and being key food resources for vertebrates. Without them, we will lose huge species diversity in the coral reefs and a decline fish population abundance due to the need for mature shellfish to be able to sustain reproduction rates.

    • @tilengasparic6765

      Dry ice vapour is carbon dioxide (CO2) and the plant would die because it also needs oxygen

      C6H12O6 + 6O2 => 6H2O + 6CO2 + (energy) is called celluar resperation
      Plants nees to do both of these chemical reactions throughout their life cycle. So if you would take away the oxygen by replacing it with carbon dioxide, it would die

  • @rossiejazz4586
    @rossiejazz4586 4 года назад +4

    I'm here to provide some chemical explanation to the reactions in the video.
    1. Shells + Muriatic acid (Hydrochloric acid)
    CaCO₃ + 2HCl = CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂
    In this reaction, the Cl⁻ ion is more active than the CO₃²⁻ ion and therefore
    replaces it, forming CaCl₂ (Calcium Chloride), which is soluble in water and that's why it "disappears".
    2. Shells + Nitric acid
    CaCO₃ + 2HNO₃ = Ca(NO₃)₂ + H₂O + CO₂
    In this reaction, the NO₃⁻ ion is also more active than the CO₃²⁻ ion and therefore
    replaces it, forming Ca(NO₃)₂ (Calcium Nitrate), which , again, is soluble in water and "disappears".
    3. Shells + Vinegar (Acetic acid)
    CaCO₃ + 2CH₃COOH = Ca(CH₃COO)₂ + H₂O + CO₂
    In this reaction, the CH₃COO⁻ ion is more active than the CO₃²⁻ ion (pretty much every anion is more active than the CO₃²⁻ ion) and replaces it, forming Ca(CH₃COO)₂ (Calcium Acetate), which, once again, is soluble in water and "disappears".
    4. Shells + Sulfuric acid
    CaCO₃ + H₂SO = CaSO₄ + H₂O + CO₂
    In this reaction, the SO₄²⁻ ion is more active than the CO₃²⁻ ion and
    replaces it, forming CaSO₄ (Calcium Sulfate, or more commonly known as plaster), which is not fully
    soluble in water.
    5. "Cooking" shells
    CaCO₃ + Heat = CaO + CO₂
    When heating CaCO₃, a bond is weakened, splitting the compound into CO₂ and CaO (commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime)
    6. Cooked shells (CaO) + Water
    CaO + H₂O = Ca(OH)₂
    Combining burnt lime with water produces Ca(OH) (also known as slaked lime), which is actually a base, but it is not fully soluble in water (and that's why they didn't hurt their hands when touching it - because it didn't have time to fully dissolve in the water, and therefore the solution was still very weakly basic).
    If you actually read the entire thing, congrats, mate.
