This video's title is highly misleading. There is no way to make calcium phosphate from eggshells and vinegar, as neither the primary component of eggshells (CaCO3) or vinegar (CH3COOH) contains any phosphorus. You might get some calcium phosphate if you reacted bones with acetic acid, as the primary component of bone is an alkaline calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite, Ca5(PO4)3(OH)), but the concentration of phosphorus will be very low (if the bones had a lot of phosphate, they would simply dissolve in water like superphosphate fertilizer). In both cases the primary reaction product is calcium acetate, which is a water-soluble calcium salt. Calcium acetate definitely has its uses - it can be used as a fast-acting calcium fertilizer in place of calcium nitrate - but it's definitely not the same thing as calcium phosphate or "Ca Phos".
Eggshels is mostly just calcium carbonate. And vinegar does not contain a phostphate chain. You just made calcium acetate, which does not dissolve in water. You just sprayed water with impurities on your plants. Lolz
@@dr.froghopper6711yup, we also like to call that sterno, just don't try to use isopropyl, because calcium acetate and other ionic salts are not soluble in it.
Wouldn’t this be calcium acetate, also you didn’t have to turn the egg shells into calcium oxide by burning them, calcium carbonate works just fine and even looks cooler.
You just made calcium acetate, not calcium phosphate. I think you need to use strong phosphoric acid in place of vinegar in order to make calcium phosphate.
First I soak the cracked egg shells in water for few days Use the water as plant fertilizer Bake the shells ( very low heat) to sanitize. Then, crush them to a fine powder. Use as soil fertilizer.
Its calcium acitate. You mught get some calcium phosphate if you disolve some egg shells into a can of diet coke. But i have no idea how the other chemicals will react with plants or how much to dilute.
the reaction carried out with acetic acid CH3COOH with the eggshell will form parts calcium phosphate and parts calcium acetate. most plant matter is insoluble with acetic acid. for example you would need 80-85% ethanol to extract chlorophyll from a spinach leaf, but i can still extract magnesium salts from the spinach leaf using vinegar. will most likely have a lower yield than using HCl or 37% of muriatic acid (dilute HCl but still highest sold concentration in lq form) filtration is a big part or the process as well to remove some insolubles from the liquid. im not sure why he didnt try to filter it
@@cheeseburger7925 a can of coke has about 50-60 miligrams of phosphoric acid. Putting egg shells into coke is how one might make some calcium phosphate.
@@kreynolds1123yes yes i know i made an edit i forgot. i will be trying to do seashells and phosphoric acid, which are pure calcium carbonate and maybe
You can use any kind of vinegar as long as it contains acetic acid, but just know that you will not be producing calcium phosphate using this method, as there is pretty much no phosphorus in eggshells (or any other kind of shell for that matter). You would primarily get calcium acetate, which is a water-soluble calcium salt. You might be able to get some calcium phosphate if you used bones, but it won't be much as our bones don't contain that much phosphorus relative to calcium. If they did, our bones would simply dissolve like superphosphate fertilizer when exposed to water.
@@mclaurDIYvideo Snail shells are primarily calcium carbonate, not calcium phosphate. You will not be able to extract any phosphate from snail shells, unless you used phosphoric acid as there is simply no phosphorus in snail shells, or eggshells for that matter. Bones do contain some phosphate but they have a very low amount of phosphorus relative to calcium. Hence if you followed the procedure in this video but used bones, you'd mostly get calcium acetate, with small amounts of mono-calcium phosphate (the primary component of superphosphate fertilizer) and di-calcium phosphate (insoluble in water).

@@mclaurDIYvideo It doesn't matter what the source of this project is.

You'd mostly get calcium acetate (water-soluble calcium), like with the eggshells.
Don't you mean calcium acetate?
And phosphorus isnt soluble in vinegar as well right?
If you are reacting with acetic acid,how phosphate is formed?

But if you dehydrate it into a crystalline form and mix it with ethanol, you get gelled alcohol fuel.

Calcium ACETATE, not phosphate. Had you used phosphoric acid instead of acetic acid, then you would have calcium phosphate.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you use white vinegar?

Is the calcium phosphate liquid used as a herbicide or a fungicide? Commonly used for both?
Can phosphates be extracted from snail shells? Freshwater snail shells, the shore at my cabin has thousands
You can extract from any kind of shell, including pork, fish, and beef bones. Broil and pulverize the bones.
