It creates carbon dioxide and calcium acetate and water. The carbon dioxide bubbles off and leaves a solution of calcium acetate. It can then be boiled and it will turn into calcium acetate crystals as the water boils off as steam.

∙ 15y agoWell... from what I can tell, the vinegar dried the calcium in the bone to where the bone has a slimmy but think substance and was able to be cut and was very flexible. This observation was taken after 48 hours and chicken bones were used.

∙ 14y agoThe reaction's going to be pretty brisk--not violently brisk, but vigorous enough to definitely be noticed. Essentially, two reactions will be occurring.
Pure calcium is an alkaline earth metal, so it'll react pretty vigorously with water (the smaller the pieces, the more vigorous the reaction). So the calcium metal will react to the watercontent of the vinegar first.
But this will result in calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), which is a base. This part will now react to the acetic acid part of the vinegar (CH3COOH), producing more vigorous reaction.
The end result should be some wisps of hydrogen gas (released from the first reaction) and chunks of hydrated calcium acetate (Ca(C2H3O2)2.H2O) in what's left of the water.

∙ 14y agoThe active ingredient in vinegar for this reaction is acetic acid, with a formula C2H4O2. (One hydrogen atom is lost when the acid ionizes.) The reaction is:
2 C2H4O2 + CaCO3 = Ca(C2H3O2)2 + CO2 (gas) + H2O.

i.e. produces water, carbon dioxide and calcium acetate
The balanced equation for the reaction between calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and vinegar (acetic acid, CH3COOH) is: CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH -> Ca(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and vinegar (acetic acid, CH3COOH) is: CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH → Ca(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O This equation shows that calcium carbonate reacts with vinegar to form calcium acetate, carbon dioxide, and water.
First of all vinegar has the chemical name of Ethanoic(Acetic) acid, and its formula is CH3COOH. The BALANCED reaction eq'n is 2CH3COOH(aq) + CaCO3(s) = Ca(CH3COO)2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) In words ; Two moles of ethanoic acid(CH3COOH) reacts with one mole of calcium carbonate(CaCO3) to produce one mole of calcium ethanoate(Ca(CH3COO)2, one mole of water(H2O) and one mole of carbon dioxide(CO2). NB Vinegar's everyday name is acetic acid, however, in the modern IUPAC nomenclature it is 'Ethanoic Acid'.
The molecular equation for the reaction between calcium carbonate and acetic acid is: CaCO3 (s) + 2CH3COOH (aq) → Ca(CH3COO)2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
To remove pure calcium carbonate from eggshells, you can crush the eggshells into a fine powder and then use a weak acid like vinegar to dissolve the calcium carbonate. After the reaction is complete, filter out the remaining solid particles to obtain the pure calcium carbonate.
When vinegar (acetic acid) is added to crushed chalk (calcium carbonate), a chemical reaction occurs that releases carbon dioxide gas. This gas forms bubbles in the solution, creating the fizzing effect you observe. The reaction can be represented by the equation: CaCO3 (chalk) + 2CH3COOH (vinegar) -> Ca(CH3COO)2 (calcium acetate) + CO2 (carbon dioxide) + H2O (water).

The vinegar removes the calcium carbonate from the eggshell, which is the mineral responsible for the shell's hardness. This process dissolves the calcium carbonate, leaving behind the egg membrane.
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.
Calcium acetate is reasonably soluble in water, so vinegar will dissolve limestone (calcium carbonate).

To prove that a washing detergent contains calcium carbonate, you can perform a simple test using an acid such as vinegar. When vinegar is added to calcium carbonate, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which can be observed as fizzing or bubbling. This reaction confirms the presence of calcium carbonate in the detergent.
When an egg is placed in vinegar, the chemical reaction that occurs is: Calcium carbonate (in eggshell) + acetic acid (in vinegar) -> calcium acetate + carbon dioxide + water This reaction results in the breakdown of the eggshell, leaving behind a rubbery egg due to the removal of the calcium carbonate.
The chemical equation for the reaction between vinegar (acetic acid, CH3COOH) and eggshell (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is: CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH -> Ca(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O This reaction produces calcium acetate, carbon dioxide gas, and water.
