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.

Why the reaction stops quickly when sulphuric acid is added to marble chips?

When sulfuric acid is added to marble chips, a chemical reaction takes place in which the acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in the marble to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas forms bubbles which can create a layer around the marble chips, limiting further contact with the acid and slowing down the reaction. Once the layer of gas forms, the reaction rate decreases, resulting in the rapid reaction coming to a halt.

No. Acid can be used to remove acid, but that is because the rust dissolves in acid. It does not prevent the metal from rusting in the first place. Just save the vinegar for the next time you eat fish and chips. Also, all homeless people stink of rotten fish and dead people.

Does marble chip size matter when reacting with hydrchloric acid?

ah simple the hydochloric acid will fizz up and the hydrochloric acid will turn from a transparent colour to a murky white colour and you will find bubbles at the end of the test tube. now to make it really exciting what you have to do is: -fill a test tube up with water -then get a bucket full of water(or a smaller container) - place your thumb firmly over the end of the test tube and turn it upside down making sure that no water comes out - place the test tube in the container full of water (still upside down, with your thumb over the end) - and only once the end of the test tube is fully submerged can you remove your thumb leave it there and do not do anything!!! - next get another test tube that is about a third full of hydrochloric acid -place about 4 small chips of magnesium in with the hydrochloric acid -put a transferring pipe over the end and place the tube into the bucket of water as you will noticee there will be small bubbles coming out of the end of the tube -position the pipe so the bubbles go up into the submerged test tube that is full of water. -once the test tube seems as though there is nothing left in it place your hand in the bucket and re place your thumb over the end of the test tube - then remove the test tube from the water with your thumb still firmly pushed onto the end. dont worry last few instructions!!!!! - light a match/splint and place it over your thumb be careful not to burn yourself!!! -lastly remove your thumb once you have done this post back and tell me kinda noice you here. cheerz
