How does the chemical reaction of chalk and vinegar create carbon dioxide? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
Chalk contains calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Vinegar is acetic acid in water. If you spill vinegar on a piece of chalk, you will see carbon dioxide bubbles with some wetness and a salt called calcium acetate.
2 HC2H3O2 + CaCO3 -> Ca(C2H3O2)2 + CO2 + H2O
