Vinegar is a mild acid and as such will disolve calcium and other minerals that are part of "water spots". As such, vinegar is good at removing mineral from windows, shower heads... and mixed with olive oil and spices, it makes a good salad dressing. vinegar also works as a meat tederiser it breaks down the glutens that make meat tuff vinegar also makes the best window cleaner. coffeepot cleaner and sprayed around a porch it will keep flies away in the summer for about 2 weeks at a time

Acids dissolve "stuff" by causing a chemical reaction in the substance, generally donating a positively charged proton (or Hydrogen without an electron) or looking at it the other way, ripping off a negatively charged electron from what ever it is dissolving. either way you look at it, the acid causes the "stuff" to change chemically into something that is more polarized because of the charge and that makes it easier for "stuff" to dissolve into the water that the acid is diluted in.
It might seem like "stuff" is melting, but that's just the heat being given off by the chemical reaction and is not directly responsible for "stuff" dissolving.

Acids or bases dissolve in water to produce H?
Acids.
Do acids dissolve many metals?
Yes
What acids dissolve lead?
Carbonated water can dissolve lead to some degree. - - - - - Nitric and acetic acids will dissolve lead. I think hydrofluoric acid will also dissolve it, but HF will dissolve a lot of things nothing else will.
What are the three uses of acids?
Acids can be used to determine the concentration of a given alkaline solution. Acids can be used to dissolve solids that do not dissolve in water. Abides are used to identify certain substances, such as in cation precipitation.
Do acids ionize or dissolve in water Can you explain please?
Acids ionize can dissolve in water it will lower the pH levels. This is does in many things to keep pH levels lower.
Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?
They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.
Acids or bases dissolve in water to produce H?
Acids.
Why did the skittles not dissolve in bleach?
Because it has acids in it. Natural acids, but acids all the same.
What is plant acids?
carbonic acids dissolve rocks, and caves from underground.
Why do solids dissolve faster in acid?
Not all solids dissolve faster in acids.
What do acids do in a solutions?
Acids dissolve entirely or partially into its ions when it is in aqueous medium.
Do acids dissolve many metals?
Yes

Do phospholipids dissolve in chloroform?
Most do "dissolve" in CHCl3, but it depends on how many fatty acids, and what they are.

What acids can do not dissolve in water?
Acids release hydrogen+ ions (H+) when dissolved in water
