>> Here's your answer :
______________________
•As we know, in lemon citric acid is present in good amount.
•This citric acid reacts with the top copper oxide layer on the vessel (which is also the cause of tarnish).
•Due to this, the untarnished metal Below it is exposed.
•The reaction results in copper citrate.
•This is easily and readily soluble in water and washes off easily.
•Hence, leaving the surface of vessel sparking and shining.
•Therefore a tarnished copper vessel begins to shine again when rubbed with lemon
