When vinegar, which is an acidic solution of acetic acid, is mixed with calcite, which is a form of calcium carbonate, a chemical reaction occurs. The acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in calcite to form calcium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction can be observed as fizzing or bubbling as the carbon dioxide gas is released. Over time, the calcite will dissolve in the vinegar as the reaction progresses.

What mineral reacts with vinegar?

Calcite, a mineral composed primarily of calcium carbonate, reacts with vinegar, which contains acetic acid. When vinegar is applied to calcite, it produces carbon dioxide gas, resulting in fizzing or bubbling. This reaction is commonly used to demonstrate the presence of calcite in rocks and minerals. Other carbonate minerals may also react similarly with vinegar.
