Calcite is an impure form of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). Vinegar is the every=day name for the carboxylic acid , Ethanoic (Acetic) Acid (CH3COOH).
Remember for all acid/carbonate reactions.
Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide((g) - bubbles).
Hence 2CH3COOH + CaCO3 = Ca(CH3COO)2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
The Effervescence (Bubbles)- you see is the carbon dioxide (CO2) being liberated.

In the Calcite test what is in the vinegar that has been with a calcite?
The component of vinegar that reacts with the calcite is acetic acid. The acid reacts with calcium carbonate to produce water, carbon dioxide, and calcium acetate.
What is the Calcite test?
Answerfrom windows.ucar.edu (see link to the left): Everyone's favorite way of identifying calcite is the acid test. When you place a drop of weak acid, such as vinegar, on calcite, it will bubble. This happens because a reaction causes a little bit of the calcite to break down, releasing carbon dioxide gas, making the bubbles.and also by hcl test
How can calcite be detected in rocks?
A rock can be tested for calcite by placing a drop on vinegar on its surface. If there is calcite present the rock will effervesce.
What happens after vinegar evaporates during a calcite experiment?

What are special properties of calcite?
Calcite bends light in a certain way: Double refraction (Double image)
What happens when you mix vinegar with calcite?
When vinegar reacts with limestone, the limestone will fizz and form bubbles. As the reaction continues, vinegar will dissolve the limestone. The product made is carbon dioxide.
If acid is added to a piece of sandstone and it begins to bubble what mineral is likely to be found in the rock?
