How do H-plus ions in vinegar kill bacteria ?

1 Answer

Answer :

Bacteria are stem cells and are made up of proteins and histones. The hydrogen ions in vinegar break down the protein molecules of bacteria by hydrolysis. As a result, the protein is destroyed and the bacteria die. Thus vinegar destroys bacteria.
