    1. The document describes a procedure to determine the amount of calcium carbonate in an eggshell through acid-base titration. An eggshell sample is reacted with hydrochloric acid and the excess acid is titrated with sodium hydroxide solution. 2. Calculations are shown to determine the moles of calcium carbonate reacted based on the titration results and molar ratios from the balanced equations. 3. The percentage of calcium carbonate in the original eggshell sample is calculated from the moles of calcium carbonate reacted and the initial mass of the eggshell sample.

    Drying Oven
    Balance Scale
    Mortar & Pestle
    Erlenmeyer Flask

    Burettes (2)
    Buret Stand
    Eggshell

    Prepare an acid buret and a base buret (See titration lab).


    Fill each buret to a point above the calibration mark.
    Release some of the liquid in each buret in order to remove
    any air bubbles and to lower the volume to the calibration
    mark.
    Remove the white and the yoke from an egg and dispose of
    them.
    Wash the shell with distilled water and carefully peel away
    all the membrane from the inside of the egg.
    Dry the shell in a drying oven.
    Remove the eggshell from the oven and cool.
    Grind the eggshell using the mortar and pestle.
    Measure a 0.5-gram sample of eggshell on the balance
    scale. Record your data.
    Place the eggshell sample into the Erlenmeyer flask.
    Add 25-mL of the 1M HCl to the flask.
    Swirl gently for 3 to 4 minutes.
    Add two drops of phenolphthalein to the flask.
    Titrate the mixture in the flask with 1 M NaOH from the
    base buret until the phenolphthalein changes color.
    Record the volume of 1 M NaOH used.
