White vinegar can.
Probably a lemon could help.
But I know that on pennies when they get calcium buildup you can use coco cola or ketchup to eat it away.
Ketchup can also clean real silver and real gold; Mean while if you get stung by a bee and tape a penny to the throbbing area pain as well as vennum will come out.And a Coca Cola put into a container of water will sink all the way to the bottom.
Just some useful tips(:
Calcium acetate is reasonably soluble in water, so vinegar will dissolve limestone (calcium carbonate).
Vinegar is acidic. An acid will dissolve (partially at least) the calcium of the shell.
Vinegar is an acid (acetic acid) it dissolves calcium quite readily. Don't leave a puddle of vinegar on your marble bench or table top either, it will dissolve that soft stone too!
Because vinegar will dissolve the calcium shell of an egg, the egg will increase in size by about 30 to 60 millimeters after being in vinegar.
This depends on the physical form of cement (a block, granules, powder), temperature, stirring, acetic acid concentration, etc.
mild acids like vinegar & phosphoric acid.
If the "dirt" consists primarily of calcium deposits, you should use a mild acid to dissolve the calcium, phosphoric acid, even vinegar (acetic acid) are two choices.
Depends on the pH of the water but it would dissolve faster in fresh water because there isn't as much stuff in solution. true... but it took me about 8.30 seconds to dissolve with the perfect pH.....
Vinegar is actually acetic acid. Eggshells are mostly composed of calcium carbonate. The acid dissolves the shell because the molecules in the acid bond to the calcium carbonate. This is similar to cleaning scale off of glass showers.
You can dissolve the calcium shell in vinegar (it takes a few days but is quite simple).
Chalk is made out of Calcium Sulphate and it dissolves in weak acids which means it is a weak chemical to acids. So the vinegar wich is a typr of an acid dissolves the chalk with cool foams foaming in the jug or a cup. because of the acid in the vinegar EDIT(Dr.J.): Actually, chalk is mostly calcium carbonate, not calcium sulphate. The carbonate reacts with acetic acid (vinegar) to create CO2 and H2O as follows: CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH ==> Ca(CH3COO)2 + 2H2CO3 ==> 2CO2 + 2H2O
There are a number of reasons why a pill will dissolve in vinegar. Vinegar is an acid that dissolves many things.
