Answer:

It will be less than 2 grams

Explanation:

Marble (CaCO3) reacts with vinegar (an acid) to form calcium acetate and water.

This dissolves the marble chip and reduces its mass.

The mass of the marble chip will be less than 2.0 grams.

Explanation:

  • In the given scenario two substances are involved namely marble chip and vinegar.
  • The chemical formula of marble chip and vinegar are CaCO_3 and CH_3COOH respectively.
  • As one of the reactants is carbonate whereas the other is acid, the reaction occurs and it leads to the formation of a new compound called calcium acetate.
  • The equation involved in the reaction is as follows:

CaCO_3 + 2CH_3COOH \rightarrow Ca(CH_3COO)_2 + H_2O + CO_2

  • When the marble chip is immersed in the vinegar overnight, the above-mentioned reaction occurs and the weight of the marble chip will definitely get reduced.
  • Thus the mass of the marble chip will be less than 2.0 grams.
