Carbonic acid, which is a weak acid, forms when rainwater and carbon dioxide in the air react with one another. When carbonic acid comes into contact with limestone or calcium carbonate, it can cause it to dissolve over a long period of time. In nature, this reaction leads to the formation of caves.
Vinegar, which is a form of acetic acid (CH3COOH), eats away and dissolves the calcium in bones. By dissolve, I mean it ionizes the Calcium molecules so that they are free to â¦ break away. Note however that ingesting vinegar does not dissolve the bones, to do so, you would need to actually soak said bone in vinegar.y dissolve, I mean it ionizes the Calcium molecules so that they are free to â¦ break away.
