Yes, because it's an acid. As will lemon juice. However, for industrial removal, or from a hot water boiler, you would have to use a stronger acid.

What does it mean if vinegar breaks down pennies?

This is because vinegar is an acid and acids react with metals and a gass will be produced. so- VINEGAR +PENNIES (COPPER) = GAS


How do you clean dishwasher with white vinegar?

Vinegar is acidic and will attack limescale. White vinegar is therefore useful to descale a kettle in hard water areas in preference to expensive chemicals. It is also less harmful should you drink any and has a strong taste so you can tell it has been washed out. It will react more vigorously when hot so be careful when boiling the kettle with too strong a solution in it. Similarly for dishwashers use neat on scaled areas but rinse well and do not leave on for too long without testing a small area first. When reaction with limescale takes place gas is produced so don't heat up in sealed containers.


Why does vinegar and baking soda inflate a balloon?

Vinegar is an acid and baking soda is an alkali. If an acid and an alkali react with each other they produce a salt, water and hydrogen gas. the gas produced can be used to inflate the balloon.


Is there a gas produced when you mix drano and vinegar together?

No, there should be no gas formed when mixing Drano and vinegar. The main ingredient in Drano is NaOH, and vinegar is acetic acid. So, the chemical reaction would be...NaOH + CH3COOH ==> CH3COONa + H2O. Neither is a gas.


Why does bath salt and sodium carbonate fizz when you put vinegar on them?

When they react, carbon dioxide is produced. The fizzing is due to the bubbling carbon dioxide gas.


Is ability to react with other substance a physical or chemical?

Chemical. If vinegar reacts with baking soda, a new substance is produced. If something new is produced, it is chemical. In chemical reactions, things change what they are. Water splitting into hydrogen gas and oxygen is chemical, because hydrogen gas and oxygen gas is different from water.


Is baking soda and vinegar causing a balloon to expand a chemical change?

The gas - carbon dioxide is produced by a chemical reaction, so yes, this is a chemical change.


What percent of vinegar and baking soda is used so high pressure is produced?

The equation for this chemical reaction is NaHCO3 + HOOCCH3 = NaOOCCH3 + H2O + CO2. This means that the ratio of vinegar to baking soda to carbon dioxide gas is 1 : 1 : 1. So, in order to maximize the pressure produced, one would use an equal amount of vinegar and baking soda by mass.
