      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 років тому +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 4 роки тому +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.

      Elliana Policarpio for acids to eat away shells (CaCO3), they first react with them. the product of that reaction must be able to disulve into the acid or else it will cover the shell in something the acid can’t dissolve.
      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.
