Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is a mild acid. However, it still displays acidic properties, one of them being...

metal carbonate + acid ---> salt + water + carbon dioxide

So when calcium carbonate is added to ethanoic acid, the following reaction occurs.

CaCO3+2CH3COO-H+ ---> (CH3COO-)2Ca2++H2O+CO2

Which salt is formed when acetic acid react with calcium carbonate?

Calcium acetate is formed when acetic acid reacts with calcium carbonate. This reaction produces calcium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide.


What gas will evolve when calcium carbonate was added to acetic acid?

When calcium carbonate is added to acetic acid, carbon dioxide gas will evolve as a result of the reaction. This is because acetic acid will react with the calcium carbonate to form calcium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide.


In the Calcite test what is in the vinegar that has been with a calcite?

The component of vinegar that reacts with the calcite is acetic acid. The acid reacts with calcium carbonate to produce water, carbon dioxide, and calcium acetate.


What is the gas formed when you mix calcium carbonate and vinegar?

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 type of change occurred in the acetic acid solution when you placed the calcium carbonate chip in it?

it bubbles up. and at that point the calcium carbonate under goes a change in color


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.


Which two acids that react with calcium carbonate to make carbon dioxide?

Examples: hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, etc.


What two substances would react with an acid to produce carbon dioxide gas?

Vinegar is a solution of a carboxylic acid (acetic acid) which means that most metal compounds (particulaly alkaline metal compounds found in group 1 in the periodic table) will react with it to produce salts, carbon dioxide and water. Sodium Carbonate is a common example of a alkaline metal compound that reacts readily with vinegar.


What would you observe before dilute acetic acid is added to calcium carbonate?

Before dilute acetic acid is added to calcium carbonate, you would observe that the calcium carbonate is a white solid. There may be no visible reaction or bubbling occurring prior to the addition of the acid.


What happen to the shell of an egg when it soak in acetic acid?

The shell (Calcium carbonate) dissolves in acetic acid and forms water and carbon dioxide. CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH --> Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2


What is the balanced equation for acetic acid and calcium carbonate yield calcium acetate?

The balanced chemical equation for acetic acid (CH3COOH) reacting with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to yield calcium acetate (Ca(CH3COO)2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is: 2CH3COOH + CaCO3 → Ca(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O


What gas is given off when you react chalk with an acid?

CaCO3 + 2 HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O Calcium Carbonate + 2 Hydrochloric Acid = Calcium Chloride + Carbon Dioxide(which is a gas) + Water CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH = Ca(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O Calcium Carbonate + 2 Acetic Acid (Vinegar) = Calcium Acetate + Carbon Dioxide + Water In these equations it is obvious that Carbon Dioxide is mostly released after an reaction of calcium carbonate with some acids.
