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.
CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH ------> CO2 + H2O + Ca(CH3COO)2
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'.
Calcium Carbonate: CaCO3 Acetic Acid is commonly written as HC2H3O2. It is the active component of vinegar.
1. Removing of calcium carbonate: CaCO3 is dissolved in vinegar. 2. Obtaining of pure calcium carbonate: by heating of birds eggshells at moderate temperature, to destroy the proteic matrix.
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.

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).
it bubbles up

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.

It should be noted that it is not the eggs that dissolve, but the egg shell, and it is not the fact that it is vinegar, just that it is an acid. Egg shells involve calcium compounds which will dissolve in acid. Vinegar is a slightly acidic compound and so it dissolves the calcium compound.
