It is known that acid content has a major effect on the flavor of vinegars, but most cheaper vinegars are diluted similarly to 5% acidity Wt./vol. % is equivalent to g solute per 100mL solution (so 5% is equivalent to 5 g acid/100 mL solution).  a.) First, calculate the approximate molar concentration of acetic acid in the 5% wt./vol vinegar. b.) Next, calculate the expected molarity of acetic acid in the solution upon dilution by a factor of 5.

Question

It is known that acid content has a major effect on the
flavor of vinegars, but most cheaper vinegars are diluted similarly to 5% acidity Wt./vol. % is equivalent to g
solute per 100mL solution (so 5% is equivalent to 5 g acid/100 mL solution). 

a.) First, calculate the approximate molar concentration of acetic acid in the 5% wt./vol vinegar.

b.) Next, calculate the expected molarity of acetic acid in the solution upon dilution by a factor of 5.

Thank you!
