A drop of vinegar ( a weak acid ) is placed on a sample of each of the materials below. Which will show the most active reaction?
A. glass
B. marble
C. copper
D. steel

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Marble is also known as calcium carbonate and its chemical formula is [tex]CaCO_{3}[/tex].

When it combines with vinegar then it results in the formation of calcium acetate which is a water soluble compound along with the release of carbon dioxide which occurs in the form of bubbles and water.

The reaction is as follows.

    [tex]CaCO_{3} + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow Ca(CH_{3}COOH)_{2} + H_{2}O + CO_{2}[/tex]

Whereas vinegar being a weak acid will not react with glass, copper and steel.
