Best Answer

The carbonates in marble will react with the acid in vinegar in the reaction: acid + carbonate = water + salt + carbon dioxide. Thus, the volume of vinegar will decrease, the volume of the marble will also decrease, a salt will be produced, and effervescence occurs (bubbles are formed). To test the gas in the bubbles produced, pass it through aqueous calcium hydroxide (limewater). A white precipitate will be formed in the limewater shortly.
