Concentrated H2SO4 is enough of an oxidizing agent to bump loose an electron, and silver sulfate is soluble.

Hydrochloric acid has a hard time attacking silver, although with enough dissolved oxygen and added energy, I&#039;m sure it eventually could.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Vinegar is acetone?
