the bone become brittle and more susceptible to breakage

mayank2380: Bone becomes brittle and more susceptible to breakage, but it doesn't melt because there are other minerals such as potassium, vitamins, and collagen that makes up the bone. When a bone is dropped in HCl medium, the calcium of bone slowly starts to dissolve due to the action of a strong acid
