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.

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.


What happens when you put eggs in vinegar?

If you put a raw egg in vinegar the egg shell will disolve and will leave the whole inside rubbery. This happens from acetic acid. Acitic acid is used as a solven in rubber, plastic, is chief acid of vinegar. (you could hear more about acetic acid if you ask a Qustion about it.)
