Chalk contains calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Vinegar is acetic acid in water. If you spill vinegar on a piece of chalk, you will see carbon dioxide bubbles with some wetness and a salt called calcium acetate. 2 HC2H3O2 + CaCO3 -> Ca(C2H3O2)2 + CO2 + H2O

Why does chalk dissolve in certain liquids?

Chalk is made out of Calcium Sulphate and it dissolves in weak acids which means it is a weak chemical to acids. So the vinegar wich is a typr of an acid dissolves the chalk with cool foams foaming in the jug or a cup. because of the acid in the vinegar EDIT(Dr.J.): Actually, chalk is mostly calcium carbonate, not calcium sulphate. The carbonate reacts with acetic acid (vinegar) to create CO2 and H2O as follows: CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH ==> Ca(CH3COO)2 + 2H2CO3 ==> 2CO2 + 2H2O

Why bubbles come when you add vinegar and crushed chalk?

The reaction between Chalk and Vinegar creates carbon dioxide. Chalk is calcium carbonate and when vinegar is poured on it.

The foams are carbon dioxide that is formed when the oxygen from the acetic acid links with the carbon from the calcium carbonate.
