Best Answer

Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is a mild acid. However, it still displays acidic properties, one of them being...

metal carbonate + acid ---> salt + water + carbon dioxide

So when calcium carbonate is added to ethanoic acid, the following reaction occurs.

CaCO3+2CH3COO-H+ ---> (CH3COO-)2Ca2++H2O+CO2

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.


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.


What is the gas formed when you mix calcium carbonate and vinegar?

The acetic acid must contain a little water for the reaction to proceed. Calcium carbonate and acetic acid combine in a neutralization reaction to form water, calcium acetate, and carbon dioxide. CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH = Ca(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O


What is the molecular equation for calcium carbonate and acetic acid?

Calcium Carbonate: CaCO3 Acetic Acid is commonly written as HC2H3O2. It is the active component of vinegar.


Which two acids that react with calcium carbonate to make carbon dioxide?

Examples: hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, etc.


What two substances would react with an acid to produce carbon dioxide gas?

Vinegar is a solution of a carboxylic acid (acetic acid) which means that most metal compounds (particulaly alkaline metal compounds found in group 1 in the periodic table) will react with it to produce salts, carbon dioxide and water. Sodium Carbonate is a common example of a alkaline metal compound that reacts readily with vinegar.


What gas is given off when you react chalk with an acid?

CaCO3 + 2 HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O Calcium Carbonate + 2 Hydrochloric Acid = Calcium Chloride + Carbon Dioxide(which is a gas) + Water CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH = Ca(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O Calcium Carbonate + 2 Acetic Acid (Vinegar) = Calcium Acetate + Carbon Dioxide + Water In these equations it is obvious that Carbon Dioxide is mostly released after an reaction of calcium carbonate with some acids.


Why does the vinegar eat the eggshell?

Because the acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with the solid calcium carbonate crystals that make up the eggshell, separating them into their calcium and carbonate parts, the calcium ions floats free and the carbonate makes the bubbles (carbon dioxide) that you can see on the egg. The protein that binds the calcium and carbonate is the froth that you can see on the top.


What happen to the shell of an egg when it soak in acetic acid?

The shell (Calcium carbonate) dissolves in acetic acid and forms water and carbon dioxide. CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH --> Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2


What gas will evolve when calcium carbonate was added to acetic acid?

CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH = Ca(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O the gas evolved is carbon dioxide the other products are calcium acetate and water


What type of change occurred in the acetic acid solution when you placed the calcium carbonate chip in it?

it bubbles up. and at that point the calcium carbonate under goes a change in color
