Answer:
Its layer slowly gets deposited on the surface of the metal. Now as lemon is acidic, hence when we rub the tarnished copper vessel with lemon, the basic copper oxide or copper carbonate reacts with the acid present in lemon to form a salt which is washed away with water.

Hola....
Here is your answer mate_________☺️
Explanation:
Copper reacts with moist carbon dioxide in air to form copper carbonate and as a result, copper vessel loses its shiny brown surface forming a green layer of copper carbonate. Tarnished copper vessels are cleaned with lemon or tamarind juice to give the surface of the copper vessel its charateristic lustre.
