Soda is acidic as it contains H2CO3 due to the dissolved CO2 within the soda.
Chalk on the other hand is a basically CaCO3 which is a base
CaCO3 + H2CO3 ---> CaCO3 + H20 + CO2
The reaction will continue until here is no more H2CO3 left i/e when the soda goes flat.
If this occurs before or the carbonate (CO3) is reduce to CO2 then there will be a solid left in the soda in the form of CaCO3
When you mix chalk with club soda, the carbonation in the soda can cause the chalk to dissolve slowly. This reaction occurs as the carbon dioxide in the club soda creates carbonic acid, which reacts with the calcium carbonate in chalk to form calcium bicarbonate.
Chalk will not dissolve in Sprite because chalk is made mostly of calcium carbonate which is not soluble in water. The chalk will remain solid and will not mix with the liquid.
No. Chalk is insoluble in water. Adding sugar will not change that.
Yes, you can use soda (such as club soda or cola) to clean chalk off the driveway. The carbonation and acidity in soda can help break down the chalk residue. Simply pour the soda on the affected area, let it sit for a few minutes, and then scrub or hose off the chalk.
Yes, acid rain can dissolve chalk because chalk is made of calcium carbonate which reacts with acid to form calcium ions, carbon dioxide, and water. Over time, repeated exposure to acid rain can break down and dissolve chalk surfaces.
It typically takes several hours for sidewalk chalk to dissolve in soda, depending on the size of the chalk piece and the type of soda used. The process may be accelerated by stirring or crushing the chalk pieces.

Diet Coke tends to dissolve chalk the fastest due to its high acidity and carbonation levels. The carbonation helps break down the chalk, while the phosphoric acid in Diet Coke further aids in its dissolution.
In order to dissolve chalk in water, vinegar needs to be added. The vinegar has acid in it that eats away at the chalk to dissolve it.

It sounds like you have an experiment that you're supposed to try for a class. I'll give you a hint, don't try to dissolve too much and you'll probably be able to dissolve chalk in at least two of the solutions you described. Good luck.
Yes lemon juice can dissolve chalk and other things like the enamel on your teeth
No! its insoluble
Chalk is primarily composed of calcium carbonate. Citric acid reacts with calcium carbonate to form calcium citrate, carbon dioxide and water. citric acid = HA, deprotenated = A 2 HA + CaCO3 --------> Ca(A)2 + H2O CO2
Chalk, primarily composed of calcium carbonate, does not dissolve in alcohol. Instead, it is insoluble in most organic solvents, including alcohol. While some components of chalk may react with acids, the overall structure remains intact in alcoholic solutions. Thus, chalk will not dissolve in alcohol.
