Can olive oil dissolve a shell of an egg?

Here's why:

* Egg shells are made of calcium carbonate. This is a strong, mineral-based material.

* Olive oil is a fat. Fats are not capable of dissolving minerals.

To dissolve an egg shell, you would need an acid like vinegar. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which reacts with the calcium carbonate in the shell, breaking it down.
