Will anything happen to a marble which placed in vinegar solution?

No. A marble is made of glass, not marble. Glass will not react with vinegar.
Edit - Some antique marbles ARE crafted out of marble or other stone/ rock types. Using ANY sort of chemical to clean them can possibly damage the surface finish or even worse, cause the marble to break or split. I happen to own a few antique marbles from the 1880's to the early 1900's. To clean them use a damp, warm soft cloth. Try checking each marble by carefully rubbing a small portion of a marble before cleaning the entire marble(some marbles are sun hardened clay, and getting one wet can damage them).
One other method to identify the material your marble(s) are made out of - try a local rock shop. Most rock shop owners can identify what your marble is made from, if it is a naturally occurring rock. They might even be able to provide the possible value of your marble(s), but you should ALWAYS get a second opinion for any value appraisals.

When vinegar is added to some marble chips calcium carbonate what is the gas formed and how can it be identified?
The gas formed is CO2, carbon dioxide. The simple test for carbon dioxide is to bubble it through lime water (a solution of CaOH, caclium hydroxide) where the solution gooes milky.
What happens when marble is put into vinegar?
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.
What will happen if acid reacts with marble?
Marble chips are calcium carbonate. If the hydrochloric acid is strong(concentrated), it acts upon the marble and corrodes it liberating
When vinegar is added to some marble chips bubbles of gas are produced what is the gas formed and how can be it identified?
Marble is formed from limestone, primarily calcium carbonate. Vinegar is acetic acid. The reaction between the two produces water, carbon dioxide, and calcium acetate. We know this from balancing the equation. See the related question.
Tell why vinegar reacts much more slower with zinc and marble chips than hydrochloric acid?
Because chalk has a higher pH scle with makes it more corrosive
How fast does vinegar dissolve marble?
This depends on the ratio liquid/solid, type of marble, temperature, pressure, stirring, marble granules dimension, vinegar concentration etc.
Why does CaCo3 otherwise called marble chips react with vinegar?
CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) is a mild base, and as such reacts to neutralise acids. Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid (AcH). CaCO3 + 2AcH --> H2O + CO2 + CaAc
What will happen if chicken bone soak in vinegar in the first day?
Since marble is made primary of calcium carbonate which when mixed with vinegar reacts like this CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH --> Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2 the vinegar turns the marble into water and carbon dioxide. if you ever herd of eggshells dissolving in vinegar there made out of the same stuff marble is made out of.
Does the marble bubble when put some vinegar?
yes
How do you fix marble finish that has been stained by vinegar?
Vinegar doesn't normally stain marble, it etches it. The only way to fix it at this point is to sand it out. It needs to be done professionally.
What happens when you place marble chips in vinegar?
Marble is primarily made of calcium carbonate. Vinegar has acid in it. When the weak acid contacts the calcium carbonate, it gives off bubbles of carbon dioxide gas, and eventually will erode the surface of the marble chips.
What substance bubbles when vinegar is added to it?
The rock that fizzes when applied to vinegar is MARBLE, you will have to grind it up into powder first though. Edited by Sjheerts: actually no it is not marble. it is something inside the marble. it is called calcite
When did Marble Drop happen?
Marble Drop happened in 1997.
When did Marble Madness happen?
Marble Madness happened in 1984.
What the metamorphic rocks will form bubble when test with vinegar or acid?
marble
How would you indentify marble rock?
Marble has visible interlocking crystals on a freshly fractured surface, and will fizz when strong vinegar is applied.
Is there anything unusual about marble?
There are many different types of marble. Marble is limestone that has been metamorphosed.
