What is the chemical formula for balanced reaction for calcium carbonate and vinegar?
caco3
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. It is prepared from water and acetic acid it should fizz up as the oxygen in the acetic acid combines with the calcium carbonate. The foams are carbon dioxide that is formed when the oxygen from the acetic acid links with the carbon from the calcium carbonate.
Which pair of substances would likely neutralize each other lye and ammonia vinegar and battery acid vinegar and ammonia ammonia and calcium carbonate distilled water and rainwater?

How is vinegar able to remove an egg's calcium shell?
Vinegar is acidic and acid is the enemy of calcium(that's why sodas are harmful to our bodys calcium levels). That's why the shell rubs off so easily
Would vinegar affect the freezing point?

How will the acidity of the vinegar affect the flexibility of a chicken bone?
The vinegar (weak acetic acid) will de-calcify (remove the calcium) from the bone - thus rendering it flexible...easy to perform yourself. Best to clean the bone well before trying, change vinegar solution each day.
