The answer is The bone will become soft and Flexible

Inorganic component of bone would be consist of calcium and other deposition that makes the bone hard. The inorganic components are easily dissolved by acid which are used by osteoclast cell to remodel the bone. After the inorganic component removed, the bone will lose its hardness which make them more flexible.
