Why does does sugar dissolve in vinegar faster then oil?

Why use vinigar as a lime scale remover?
As limescale is a weak alkaline therefor to neutralise and cancel out you need to clean it with a weak acid.
What is the taste of vinegar solution?

Why is vinegar considered as a weak acid?

Is vinegar a strong base or weak base?
Not compared to other acids, but to a normal person, yes. Vinegar is a weak acid.
Is vinegar a conductor?
Yes, but it is a weak conductor. Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid and water. Acids donate H+ ions into a solution. The concentration of these ions are what determines whether a solution is a strong electrolyte(conductor) or a weak one. Since vinegar has a low concentration of acetic acid(about 5%) it only has a pH of only ~2.4 and so is a weak acid.
Does vinegar have acid or not?

Why is vinegar weaker than sulfuric acid?
Because the acid in vinegar is acetic acid, a weak organic acid that disassociates in solution only to about 1%. Sulfuric acid disassociates almost 100% in solution, so the proton concentration, H3O +, is much more concentrated in a strong acid than in a weak one.
