What happens when you mix vinegar with calcite?

When vinegar, which is an acidic solution of acetic acid, is mixed with calcite, which is a form of calcium carbonate, a chemical reaction occurs. The acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in calcite to form calcium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction can be observed as fizzing or bubbling as the carbon dioxide gas is released. Over time, the calcite will dissolve in the vinegar as the reaction progresses.


Is adding salt and vinegar to water a chemical reaction can you take back the salt and vinegar once you have mixed it with water and made a crystal out of it?

- Salt (sodium chloride) react with vinegar (acetic acid) forming sodium acetate. - No.


Why is a nail rusting a chemical change?

Yes, because the chemical reaction of rust is next to impossible to get the iron, water and oxygen back from the iron oxide it creates by rusting, and its like baking a cake is a chemical reaction, once the cake is a cake you can't get the eggs or sugar back. The rust also makes the nails weak and flimsy, this is why we shouldn't use nails if they are rusted, especially large structures. A way you can tell its a chemical reaction is that the color changes and the appearance changes.

What happen when iron nails exposed to vinegars in 2 days?

Iron nails exposed to vinegar for 2 days will undergo a chemical reaction called oxidation, resulting in the formation of iron oxide (rust) on the surface of the nails. This reaction occurs due to the acidity of the vinegar, which speeds up the oxidation process of the iron.

Does using an emulsifier with vinegar and oil create a chemical reaction?

No, using an emulsifier with vinegar and oil does not create a chemical reaction. An emulsifier helps to create a stable mixture of two immiscible substances, like vinegar and oil, by dispersing the oil droplets throughout the vinegar. This is a physical process, rather than a chemical reaction.

How can I create a chemical reaction using baking powder and vinegar?

To create a chemical reaction using baking powder and vinegar, simply mix the two together. The baking powder (sodium bicarbonate) reacts with the vinegar (acetic acid) to produce carbon dioxide gas, which causes bubbling and fizzing. This reaction is commonly used in baking to make cakes and breads rise.

Does a pumice rock have a reaction with vinegar?

Yes, pumice rock will react with vinegar because it is porous and contains pockets of air that create a reaction when in contact with an acid like vinegar. This reaction will release carbon dioxide gas bubbles as the vinegar reacts with the minerals in the pumice rock.
