If a geologist drips a small amount of vinegar (acetic acid) onto a sample of dolomite, fizzing will occur because carbon dioxide is produced.
Effervescence observes whenever any gas tried to escape out from an aqueous solution, that's why CO₂ show effervescence.
Reaction between dolomite and acetic acid will be represented as:
MgCO₃ + 2CH₃COOH → CO₂ + H₂O + Mg(CH₃COO)₂
From the above reaction it is clear that carbon dixide gas is produced by showing the effervescence and fizzing behavior.
Hence, option (2) is correct.
