Copper vessel tarnishes due to oxidation with copper. The green layer formed due to oxidation is basic in nature. Lemon having citric acid is acidic in nature and and thus when it is rubbed on this layer neutralization occurs and salt in water are formed which or later washed away therefore that vessel Shine.
