Baking Soda and Vinegar may simulate the eruptive properties of a Volcano, but they don’t model the hundreds of millions of metric tons of scorching hot lava and all of the volatiles released.

Plus vinegar is acidic, and different acids react to different things, Calcium Carbonate is what makes up sea creature’s shells, weak carbonic acid is going to have far less of an effect on it than acetic acid. Plus you can have a acid with a higher PH that will react less than one with a lower PH depending on the material that you are trying to dissolve.
