What would happen if you mix vinegar with menthol crystals
Accepted Answer
Mixing vinegar (acetic acid) with menthol crystals will result in a chemical reaction, but not a dramatic one. Menthol is a weak base, and acetic acid is a weak acid. They will react to form a salt called menthyl acetate. The reaction is not highly exothermic, so you won't see much heat produced. The resulting mixture will likely have a slightly milder menthol flavor and smell.
