The acetic acid must contain a little water for the reaction to proceed. Calcium carbonate and acetic acid combine in a neutralization reaction to form water, calcium acetate, and carbon dioxide.

CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH = Ca(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O

What is formed when calcium carbonate decomposes?

quicklime (calcium oxide) is formed when calcium carbonate decomposes, as well as releasing carbon dioxide


Will calcium carbonate make a gas mixed with vinegar?

What salt is formed in the reaction by calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid?

Calcium chloride is formed in the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. This reaction also produces carbon dioxide gas and water.


How do you prove that a washing detergent contains 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.


Why does vinegar disintegrate eggshells?

Vinegar is acidic (acetic acid) and reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, breaking it down and releasing carbon dioxide gas in a chemical reaction. This reaction dissolves the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, leaving it soft and disintegrated.


Why bubbles come when you add vinegar and crushed chalk?

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.


When vinegar is added to some marble chips calcium carbonate what is the gas formed and how can it be identified?

When vinegar is added to marble chips (calcium carbonate), carbon dioxide gas is formed. This can be identified by observing bubbles forming in the solution during the reaction. The presence of carbon dioxide can also be confirmed by passing the gas through limewater, which will turn milky if carbon dioxide is present.


When vinegar is added to some marble chips bubbles of gas are produced what is the gas formed and how can be it identified?

Marble is formed from limestone, primarily calcium carbonate. Vinegar is acetic acid. The reaction between the two produces water, carbon dioxide, and calcium acetate. We know this from balancing the equation. See the related question.


What happens when you place marble chips in vinegar?

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.


When carbon iv oxide is bubbled through calcium hydroxide what is the white precipitate formed?

The precipitate formed is Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3).
