Vinegar is something that every housewife has in her kitchen, who cannot do without it when preparing most culinary masterpieces. However, it also happens that it is not available at home, but 70% vinegar essence is available. This is a concentrated liquid where the acid to water ratio is 7:3.

More often in stores you can find a 70% solution, but you can also see 80% and 30% acetic acid. All these liquids are unsafe and should never be taken in their pure form. If it enters the body, the mucous membranes receive severe burns. So, in the absence of ready-made table vinegar, there is a concentrate that needs to be diluted, but few know to the required percentage.

It is worth noting that the product is very practical in everyday life. From 1 tsp. you can get a whole glass of the usual vinegar!

Choosing quality vinegar essence

Basic Rules:

1. The liquid is bottled in glass bottles, transparent in color, without sediment.
2. Label composition. The natural solution includes only water and 99% acid.
3. Shake the bottle - the acid will begin to foam, then quickly settle. If the foam remains at the top, this is a sure sign of unnaturalness.

Why should you pay attention to this? When diluting the fake, you will get vinegar that is not the % required.

Safety precautions when diluting

Incorrect or careless use of vinegar essence can negatively affect the body - cause poisoning or burns of mucous membranes and organs. To avoid getting into trouble, you should follow the rules:

• When purchasing a solution, pay attention to the label with information about it and the concentration.
• Under no circumstances should you try the product in its pure form.
• Do not inhale acetic acid vapors; it may damage the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.
• If you feel slight irritation in your nose and larynx, you should gargle with cool water or inhale with baking soda.
• In case of contact with eyes, rinse them immediately with water.
• In case of contact with skin, wash skin with soap and water.
• In case of poisoning, call an ambulance and rinse the stomach. Do not induce a gag reflex under any circumstances!
• Store the bottle of essence where children cannot reach it.

Dilution of vinegar essence to 9% and 6%

Let's imagine that you need 9% vinegar when preparing a dish, but you only have a concentrate that needs to be diluted. There is no need for magical abilities in this matter; you just need knowledge on this topic, which will be provided right away.

• The first thing you need is a glass container, for example, a glass or bowl
• Next, cold water is poured into the bowl, then the essence, exactly in this sequence
• Now the main thing is that with acetic acid at 70%, you need to take 7 servings of water (7 tablespoons) and 1 serving of concentrate (1 tablespoon)
• Result – 9% table vinegar

This technique can be done to get 6% vinegar:

• You will need 10.5 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of vinegar essence

Well, now it's clear how to dilute vinegar essence. Since some people may end up with 80% and 30% solutions, we will provide a calculation table below so as not to write down and, moreover, it is easy to remember.

A short educational excursion into history

Vinegar has been known to man since ancient times. It was obtained by fermenting wine, the favorite drink of the god Dionysus. This probably happened by accident, perhaps when one of the husbands forgot his vessel with a drink in the scorching sun.

The very first vinegar was made about 7,000 years ago from date wine in Ancient Egypt and Babylon. Used as an antiseptic and solvent in medical solutions.

These are some interesting facts, did you know about them?

So, having considered How dilute vinegar essence at home, now you don’t have to worry that if you don’t have table vinegar on hand, you’ll have to run to the store to buy it.

Acetic acid is widely used in industry. An aqueous solution of acetic acid in the form of food additive E260 is used as a preservative. Moreover, unlike many other preservatives used, acetic acid in reasonable concentrations is considered safe for health. That is why it is common in home cooking and canning. Housewives often have to dilute acetic acid solutions to the desired concentration. How to do it right?

Concentrated acetic acid (concentration of about 100%) is called glacial and is not used in everyday life. Moreover, acetic acid with a concentration of more than 80% is included in the list of precursors whose circulation in the Russian Federation is limited. Attempts to purchase and use such acid can lead to serious trouble with the law.

Less concentrated solutions are sold completely freely. In stores you can buy vinegar essence (aqueous solution with a concentration of 70-80%), acetic acid solution (25-30%), table vinegar with a concentration of 3-9%. Such diversity often leads to the fact that recipes indicate a certain amount of acetic acid of one type, but a completely different one is available. But it doesn’t matter, everything can be easily calculated and replaced.

A less concentrated vinegar from a more concentrated one (for example, 9% vinegar from a 70% essence) can be obtained by diluting it with water. Water must be cool and clean, preferably filtered or distilled. It is impossible to obtain a more concentrated vinegar from a less concentrated one. However, in some cases (for example, the recipe indicates 70% essence, but only 9% table vinegar is available), you can simply take more of the weak solution. All calculations can be carried out using an interactive calculator for dilution schemes for aqueous solutions. It's very easy to use.

In most cases, breeding is carried out according to standard schemes, which are given below. The article uses “culinary” breeding schemes, expressed in parts. You can measure parts by teaspoons or tablespoons. It is also convenient to use a large 10 or 20 gram medical syringe.

Be careful when working with concentrated solutions of acetic acid (more than 15%). Even acid vapors can cause burns to the skin and mucous membranes. Use personal protective equipment and work in a ventilated area. If acid gets on your skin, it should be washed off immediately with water. If acid gets into your eyes, rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor.

Every housewife has a bottle of vinegar in her kitchen. But here’s the problem: vinegar of different concentrations is used for different purposes. Which vinegar is better to buy and how to dilute vinegar essence to the percentage you need, we will consider below.

What is vinegar essence

First, let's clarify what vinegar essence is. This is a 70% aqueous solution of acetic acid. This solution contains 7 parts acid and 3 parts water. Sometimes you can find 80% and 30% essence on sale. Accordingly, in the first the ratio of acid and water will be 8:2, and in the second - 3:7. Such concentrated solutions are dangerous; if taken orally, they cause burns to the mucous membranes of the digestive tract. In industrial production it is called the food additive E260, and housewives use it in the kitchen and for household purposes in the form of diluted table vinegar. Table vinegar is also sold in stores, its concentration ranges from 3% to 9%. In addition, on the shelves you can find vinegar made from natural raw materials: apple, wine, malt, balsamic, sherry and even coconut. This product is used for preparing culinary dishes.

And yet, the essence is most in demand for everyday needs. After all, from one teaspoon you can prepare a whole glass of table vinegar. Before we learn how to dilute vinegar essence 70%, let's focus on the quality of the original product.

How to buy good quality vinegar

High-quality essence is sold only in glass bottles. There should be three convex rings on the neck of the bottle to warn visually impaired people that the product is dangerous for ingestion. There are also four horizontal stripes on the bottle; between the bottom two there is a manufacturer’s stamp on the inner surface of the glass. The label indicates the concentration of vinegar - 70%. When shaken, the contents foam, then within two to three seconds they become the same. If the bottle is counterfeit, the foam will last longer than ten seconds. Do not buy counterfeits, they are harmful to your health and, at best, will ruin your prepared dishes and preserves.

Usually the label gives very brief instructions on how to dilute vinegar essence. Manufacturers write that you need to dilute the original product with water one to twenty. To obtain a solution of different concentrations, the amount of initial ingredients will be different. You can use a mathematical formula.

Mathematical calculation

For those who are good with mathematics, the easiest way to dilute the essence to the required concentration is using the formula:

• The amount of essence required to obtain table vinegar = the desired concentration of the solution * the volume of the finished solution we need / the concentration of the essence.

For example: how to dilute vinegar essence to obtain 200 ml of 9% table vinegar.

9% * 200 ml / 70% = 25.7 ml of essence, add water to 200 ml.

In another option, you can go from the opposite.

• Amount of water required for dilution = amount of essence * concentration of essence / desired concentration of solution.

For example: it is necessary to dilute 15 ml of 70% vinegar essence to 6% table vinegar.

To do this, you need the following amount of water: 15 ml * 70% / 6% = 175 ml of water.

To measure volume, you can use a measuring cup or rely on the following numbers:

1 teaspoon = 5 ml, 1 dessert spoon = 10 ml, 1 tablespoon = 15-20 ml (depending on its depth). Classic faceted glass: full = 250 ml, rim = 200 ml, vodka shot glass = 50 ml.

For those who don’t want to bother with calculations, we suggest using standard coefficients.

How to make nine percent vinegar

Table vinegar of this concentration is used for canning food. How to dilute vinegar essence to obtain a solution with a concentration of 9%? It is necessary to dilute the essence with 70% water in the ratio: 1 part concentrate and 7 parts water. That is, for 0.5 liters of water you need to add 75 ml of essence (one and a half shot glasses).

A solution of table vinegar is recommended to be used as a rubdown for diseases accompanied by an increase in body temperature. How to dilute vinegar essence at temperature? Pour one liter of water into an enamel bowl and add 2 tbsp. l. 9% table or apple cider vinegar.

How to make six percent vinegar

Six percent table vinegar is added to meat marinades. How to dilute vinegar essence: 10.5 parts water to 1 part concentrate. To obtain 0.5 liters of solution, take 45 ml of essence (three tablespoons).

How to make three percent vinegar

Table vinegar with a concentration of 3% is used to season ready-made dishes: salads, dumplings, pickled mushrooms, onions, sauces, etc.

How to properly dilute vinegar essence and get a three percent solution: take 22 parts of water for one part of essence. To prepare 0.5 liters of table vinegar you need 20 ml of vinegar essence 70%.

Dilute the essence in a glass or enamel container. First, the required amount of clean drinking water is measured into it. The water should be cool. Then add the calculated amount of vinegar essence. Avoid contact of the concentrate with the skin and especially with the mucous membranes of the eyes and mouth. But if such a nuisance does occur, rinse the affected area under cool running water. Store vinegar essence in a dark place out of reach of children. Remember - this is an acid, and if handled incorrectly, it can cause harm to health.

Good day, dear readers! Today I’m writing a short note on the topic: how to properly dilute 70 percent vinegar to make 9 percent. I have had vinegar essence 70% for a long time, so today I decided to turn it into regular table vinegar 9%.

Now is the time for homemade preparations, many housewives actively use vinegar for preservation, and at this moment they may also have a question: how to make vinegar of the required strength from the essence. In addition to cooking, vinegar is also used as a disinfectant and is even used for treatment (traditional medicine).

Vinegar can be natural or synthetic. Natural vinegar, naturally, is more expensive. But you can prepare it yourself from fruits (for example, apples or grapes). Natural vinegar will contain alcohol. Some housewives sometimes end up with vinegar instead of wine when the fermentation technology is broken.

Synthetic vinegar is made from acetic acid chemically. This is a cheap option for home cooking. It is used for pickling foods, preservation, and added to salads, sauces and many other dishes.

Making 9 percent vinegar from 70 percent is very simple: you need to take 1 part 70% vinegar and 7 parts water. Mix vinegar with water - 9% vinegar is ready. For example, for 3 tablespoons of vinegar you need to take 21 tablespoons of water.

Just be careful not to get acetic acid on your skin. And you can even put on a gauze bandage, because the smell of the essence is pungent.

How to make vinegar 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 9%, etc. from vinegar essence.

Calculation for 1 tbsp. spoon of vinegar 70%
what % of vinegar will we get?	how much water should be added to the essence
3% vinegar	22.5 tbsp. l. water
4% vinegar	17th century l. water
5% vinegar	13th century l. water
6% vinegar	11th century l. water
7% vinegar	9 tbsp. l. water
8% vinegar	8 tbsp. l. water
9% vinegar	7 tbsp. l. water
10% vinegar	6 tbsp. l. water
30% vinegar	1.5 tbsp. l. water

People have been using vinegar for a long time, using it, overwhelmingly, when cooking. This spice is colorless, but in some cases it can be slightly colored. Cuisine recipes from different countries are quite unique, but not a single cook or housewife can do without vinegar. The food industry produces vinegar of different concentrations, but if one dish requires a concentrated 70%, then for others it is only 9%, or even less concentrated. Vinegar is made from ethyl alcohol, and not a single preserve or marinade can do without it.

How to dilute vinegar 70% to 9%

Since 70% vinegar, or rather the essence, and this is the most convenient form of its release and home storage, consists of acetic acid and water, then you need to bring the solution to 9% with ordinary boiled water. Since the essence is produced in glass containers, it must also be diluted in a glass container, since strong essence can corrode plastic. First, water is poured into the container, and then the essence is added. In order for such an operation to take as little time as possible, in order to dilute 70% vinegar to 9%, you need to dissolve one spoon of vinegar in 7 parts of water.

How to dilute 70% vinegar to the required concentration

There are precise proportions in order to obtain vinegar of the required concentration from the essence, because it is used not only in food, but for many other purposes. There is a table in which the proportions are tied to the capacity of an ordinary tablespoon. So, to obtain the desired concentration, you need to add 70% vinegar to one tablespoon:

• 22.5 tbsp. spoon - you get 3% vinegar;
• 17th century spoon – 4% vinegar;
• 13th century spoons – 5%;
• 11th century spoons – 6%;
• 9 tbsp. spoons – 7%;
• 6 tbsp. spoons - 8%;
• 7 tbsp. spoons – 9%;
• 6 tbsp. spoons – 10%;
• 1.5 hundred. spoons – 30%.

There is another option to dilute 70% vinegar to 9%. It has been experimentally established that an ordinary cut glass contains 17 tablespoons of water. Therefore, to obtain a 9% solution, you need to pour 2 tablespoons of 70% vinegar into one faceted glass.

How to dilute 9% vinegar to 6%

There are situations when there is table vinegar of 9% concentration in the house, but the recipe requires only 6%. No mathematical calculation formulas are required here. You just need to add one part of water to two parts of 9% vinegar. The result will be 6% vinegar.

Using vinegar in different concentrations

Quite often, diluted vinegar is used in home medicine. Compresses with vinegar are good for reducing fever. To use this folk remedy, you need vinegar at a 6% concentration.

The end of summer and early autumn is a troublesome time for all housewives. This is the time to prepare for the winter - pickling, canning, boiling. In general, my mouth is full of worries. And this often happens when, in the middle of the canning process, it suddenly turns out that there is not a drop of vinegar in the house. It doesn’t matter, in this case there is a more thrifty neighbor who will always come to the rescue. Only bad luck - my neighbor happened to have 70% vinegar essence, but it’s not suitable for preservation. There is only one way out - dilute it. Today we will tell you how to dilute acetic acid 70 to 9 percent and not disrupt the stockpile.

Product Types

The simplest answer to the question: “Where does vinegar come from?” - "From the shop". But let's expand our horizons a little today. Each of us can remember a case when an open bottle of wine or beer, left unfinished, turned sour after a while. During the process of souring or fermentation, acetic acid is formed.

Only natural food vinegar is obtained through fermentation. To do this, fermented alcohol-containing liquids are distilled and a concentrated vinegar essence is obtained, which subsequently ends up on store shelves.

We will tell you how to dilute vinegar essence to 9% vinegar later, but now a little about the types of this product. Today, several types of food vinegar are used for culinary purposes:

• Alcohol is a natural product without any aftertaste. It is obtained from an aqueous solution of ethyl alcohol.
• Rice is a product based on fermented rice or rice wine. It is indispensable as a flavorful seasoning.
• Balsamic is a natural product with a sweetish odor, dark color and thick consistency.
• Fruit is an excellent seasoning for vegetable salads and dumplings. Apple cider vinegar has gained popularity as a healing remedy.
• Flavored - a product obtained from alcohol vinegar by adding spicy and aromatic herbs.
• Malt - produced on the basis of barley malt. Accentuates the taste of prepared dishes and gives them tartness.
• Sherry - made from wine must from Muscatel or Palomino grape varieties.
• Synthetic - it is extracted from sawdust or in the production of mineral fertilizers from natural gas. It has a pronounced chemical taste and smell. It features low-cost production. It hits store shelves with the inscription “Dining”. The main difference from natural vinegar is the increased content of toxic and carcinogenic substances, but it impresses with its low cost.

Essence is a solution of food grade acetic acid. If consumed, severe burns of the mucous membranes of the mouth and stomach occur. Therefore, this product is not used in its pure form. In the food industry it is used as an E260 additive, and in households for the preparation of table vinegar, marinades and canned foods.

You can make 9% vinegar from the essence by diluting it with a certain amount of water. However, it is not enough to simply calculate the ratio of essence and liquid - you must also take into account that the density of these liquids is different, so you need to know the exact calculation formula.

Quick navigation through the article

Vinegar 9%

9% vinegar is widely used for preparing various preserved marinades. You can make it from essence 80%, 70% or 30%:

• If the initial concentration of acetic acid is 80%, then for 1 part you need to take 8 parts of water (for example, 1 glass of essence and 8 glasses of water);
• If the initial concentration of acetic acid is 70%, then for 1 part you need to take 7 parts of water (for example, mix 1 spoon of essence and 7 spoons of water);
• If the initial concentration of acetic acid is 30%, then for 1 part you need to take 2 parts of water (for example, mix 0.5 liters of essence and 1 liter of water).

Vinegar 3%

3% vinegar is perfect for dressing salads and other dishes. To prepare it from essences of different concentrations, you must adhere to the appropriate proportion:

• 1 part 80% vinegar essence + 25.5 parts water;
• 1 part 70% vinegar essence + 22 parts water;
• 1 part 30% vinegar essence + 9 parts water.

In order not to make a mistake in the amount of liquids that need to be mixed, it is best to use a large apothecary syringe - with its help it is easy to measure the required amount of water and essence in ml.

Vinegar 5%

For preparing dressings and sauces (for example, for dumplings), 5% vinegar is best. You can make it from vinegar essence as follows:

• Mix 1 part 80% essence and 15 parts water;
• Mix 1 part 70% essence and 13 parts water;
• Mix 1 part 30% essence and 5 parts water.

For ease of calculation, it is best to use small measuring cups indicating the volume.

Vinegar 6%

Most often, 6% vinegar is used to marinate meat. To dilute vinegar essence to the required concentration, you must adhere to the following ratios:

• To 12 parts of water add 1 part of 80% acetic acid;
• To 10.5 parts of water add 1 part of 70% acetic acid;
• Add 1 part 30% acetic acid to 4 parts water.

You can measure the amount of water and essence using regular shot glasses or small glasses.

Vinegar 10%

To make canned food more spicy and rich, use 10% vinegar. You can make it from different essences:

• Mix 1 part 80% essence with 7 parts water;
• Mix 1 part 70% essence with 6 parts water;
• Mix 1 part 30% essence with 2 parts water.

It is preferable to measure the amount of liquid using measuring containers so as not to make a mistake in the proportion.

Vinegar 30%

Most often, highly concentrated 30% vinegar is used for household purposes (to remove rust from a faucet, to get rid of water scale in a kettle, etc.). You can make it using essence:

• Mix 1 part 80% essence and 1.5 part water;
• Mix 1 part 70% essence and 1 part water.

The resulting solution should be diluted and used very carefully: do not inhale its fumes and try to avoid contact with the skin.

Not everyone knows how to dilute 70 vinegar to 9%. In this regard, we decided to devote the presented article to this difficult topic.

general information

Before I tell you how to dilute 70 vinegar to 9%, I should tell you what this ingredient actually is.

Vinegar is a very popular culinary seasoning. Without it, it is impossible to prepare vegetables for the winter, marinate delicious pork kebabs, or make baked goods using baking soda.

It should be noted that in the preparation of all of the above dishes, correct adherence to proportions when diluting the acid plays an important role.

That is why each of you should definitely know how to dilute 70 vinegar to 9%.

After all, too high a concentration of this seasoning can not only noticeably spoil the taste of the dinner you are preparing, but also cause very severe food poisoning.

So, let's figure out together how to properly dilute vinegar at home.

Product Types

To correctly answer the question of how to dilute 70 vinegar to 9%, you should know that the presented product is divided into two types. In other words, it can be synthetic and natural.

The latter seasoning is obtained as a result of long fermentation of various liquids that contain alcohols.

Thus, there are apple, wine, and berry vinegars, as well as those infused with herbs and leaves of fruit bushes.

As for synthetic vinegar, the main ingredient in it is acid. As a rule, it is obtained through chemical processes. They are often based on natural gas, wood distillation products, as well as some by-products obtained in industry.

Of course, ideally you should only eat natural vinegar. But synthetic ones can be safely used for household needs (for example, removing various stains, disinfecting, etc.).

What acid should I use for dilution?

The most economical option in cooking is to use 70% vinegar essence. But before using such a substance for preparing certain dishes, it must be diluted to the required concentration. This is done quite easily and simply.

Breeding process

So how to dilute 70% vinegar? To do this, you must adhere to strict proportions. If you need to use a small amount of this seasoning, then you can use a regular tablespoon as a measuring container. The volume of this kitchen appliance should be considered as one part.

So, to dilute 70 vinegar to 6%, exactly eleven parts of ordinary water should be added to one large spoon of essence. In other words, pouring 10 ml of acid into the cup, it needs to be diluted with 110 ml of drinking liquid.

The same principle must be followed if a more or less concentrated product is to be obtained. Let's look at how to properly dilute vinegar 70% in more detail.

Maintaining proportions to obtain a concentrated product

So, if you need to get highly concentrated table vinegar, then the essence should be diluted as follows:

• to obtain 30% table vinegar - 1.5 parts of ordinary drinking water;
• to obtain 10% table vinegar - 6 parts of ordinary drinking water;
• to obtain 9% table vinegar - 7 parts of ordinary drinking water;
• to obtain 8% table vinegar - 8 parts of ordinary drinking water;
• to obtain 7% table vinegar - 9 parts of ordinary drinking water.

Maintaining proportions to obtain a low-concentrated product

If you need to make low-concentrated table vinegar, then 70% essence must be diluted in the following proportions:

• to obtain 6% table vinegar - 11 parts of ordinary drinking water;
• to obtain 5% table vinegar - 13 parts of ordinary drinking water;
• to obtain 4% table vinegar - 17 parts of ordinary drinking water;
• to obtain 3% table vinegar - 22.5 parts of ordinary drinking water.

The most used concentrations of vinegar in cooking

Now you know how to dilute vinegar. It can be made 9% by adding 7 parts of ordinary drinking water to one part of 70% essence. It should be noted that this is the concentration of the product that is most often used in cooking.

Using this product, various homemade marinades are made in the form of pickles, tomatoes, as well as lecho and other winter salads. Thanks to this concentration of seasoning, you can store your preparations for a long time without changing their taste.

Also, 9% table vinegar can give your dishes a special piquancy and unique taste.

Among other things, 6% table vinegar is very often used in cooking. As we found out above, it can be obtained by diluting one part of 70% essence with 11 parts of drinking water. Typically, this seasoning is used to marinate a meat product before directly baking it or frying it over a fire.

It should also be noted that low-concentrated vinegar (6 percent) is very often used when baking any homemade flour products. In this case, it is used in small quantities to extinguish baking soda.

This is necessary so that the finished baked goods rise well and do not have a pronounced aroma and taste of the above-mentioned ingredient.

I would also like to say that less concentrated table vinegar is also used in cooking. As a rule, it is seasoned with various salads, and onions are also pickled in it.

In addition to preparing various dishes, low-concentration table vinegar (4 and 3%) is sometimes used for treatment. So, some patients rub their body with it during fever.

By the way, some representatives of the fair sex often use this product for cosmetic purposes.

What is highly concentrated vinegar used for?

We talked about what seasoning is most often used during the preparation of various dishes. However, it should be noted that often the vinegar essence should be diluted slightly. As a rule, this is done for domestic purposes. For example, you can use this substance to remove rust from objects, remove stains from laundry, clean appliances, etc.

When diluting 70% vinegar essence, you must follow some rules. First, you need to wear rubber gloves that will protect the skin of your hands from possible burns.

Secondly, to carry out this process it is necessary to use only ceramic or glassware. Moreover, it is undesirable to use these containers in the future for storing food products.

After diluting the vinegar essence, it is recommended to place it only in glass containers, which are tightly sealed with a stopper. This aggressive liquid should be poured into another container very carefully, without splashing. In this case, one most important rule must be observed: vinegar essence must be poured into water, and not vice versa.

It should also be noted that when pouring this liquid, you should never lean too far towards the container with highly concentrated vinegar. This is necessary in order to avoid inhaling harmful fumes.

What does vinegar essence consist of?

70% vinegar essence consists of acid and ordinary water. Of the total volume, 7 parts are directly acid, and 3 parts are water. Sometimes the ratio is different, which is shown on the label. The product is not used in this form as it is too concentrated.

Table vinegar, which is sold in the store, is already diluted to a certain extent. You may ask, why then dilute the essence if it is possible to purchase a ready-made version? The answer is simple: it’s more economical.

From one tea-sized spoon you will get a whole glass of already diluted table vinegar.

Keep the essence out of the reach of children. They can drink a concentrated solution, which will cause burns to the mucous membrane of the throat and damage to the esophagus.

In the store you can find table vinegar of different concentrations. But there is no guarantee that you will immediately find exactly the product you need. It is not worth buying 3% vinegar instead of 9% vinegar. It’s better to dilute the essence yourself to the required concentration.

How to breed?

Dilute 70% acetic acid with water. They do this in accordance with the proportions. They are unique for a specific solution. People with mathematical abilities will quickly figure out how to do everything. For those who didn’t particularly like to count at school, there is a detailed table.

First formula

To get it, you need to take the original amount of vinegar essence, multiply it by the percentage of the available concentration and divide by the percentage of the desired concentration.

Second formula

If the first option seems difficult to you, you can try another formula, which is also quite easy to use.

How to dilute vinegar 70% and find out how much essence you need to take? The amount of initial liquid will be equal to the required concentration of the solution, multiplied by the final volume required in a particular case, and divided by the initial concentration. Thus, you can calculate how much essence to take to get the required amount of table vinegar.

When diluting vinegar essence, make sure that it does not get on the mucous membranes of the eyes. Also, try not to breathe in the vapors from this product. All this is unsafe!

2. To prepare a 10% solution, combine 1 part acid with 6 parts water.
3. How to dilute 70 vinegar to 9 percent? To get this result, use a ratio of 1:7.
4. To make 8 percent vinegar, mix 1 part vinegar and 8 parts water.
5. For a 7% solution, a proportion of 1:9 is needed.
6. If you combine water and acid in a ratio of 11 to 1, you will get a liquid with a concentration of 6%.
7. The ratio of vinegar essence and water in a ratio of 1:13 will give a 5% vinegar solution.
8. A proportion of 17 to 1 part will give vinegar with a concentration of 4%.
9. A 3% solution is made from 22.5 parts water and 1 part 70% vinegar essence.

Information on how to dilute 70 percent vinegar can be presented in a convenient table. By hanging it in the kitchen, you can always use ready-made calculations in a timely manner.

How to dilute 9% vinegar to 6%?

If it’s more or less clear how to dilute 70% essence, then what about already diluted vinegar that needs to be diluted further? In this case, you need to take one part water for two parts of essence. That is, two glasses of 9 percent vinegar should be diluted with one glass of water. This will yield three cups of 6 percent vinegar.

Sometimes the solutions are interchangeable. For example, if you need to use 6 percent vinegar, but you only have 3 percent, you can add that too. It’s just that the amount of such additive will be higher. Ultimately, the volume of the active substance will be the same.

Using the same principle, you can answer the question “how to dilute 9 vinegar to 3 percent?” To do this, you will need to dilute one glass of vinegar essence with two glasses of water.

Using these formulas, you can determine how to dilute 70 percent vinegar to 20 percent.

Why is it important to use a solution of a certain concentration?

If the recipe says that you need vinegar with a certain percentage of acid and water, then you need to add exactly that.

Depending on the concentration, the amount of product that needs to be added is calculated. Otherwise, the final dish may be spoiled.

Well, if you used vinegar as an ingredient for a folk medicine, then non-compliance with the recipe can even lead to health problems.

For what purposes are solutions of different concentrations used?

Diluted vinegar may be needed for medicinal purposes. With its help, the temperature is quickly reduced. This method causes less harm than antibiotics and other drugs. For compresses, use a 6 percent solution.

How to choose vinegar essence?

Choose high-quality vinegar essence. This is a guarantee that the diluted solution will be the way you need it. In addition, by purchasing a genuine product, you will worry about your health, because counterfeit products often harm it.

So, high-quality vinegar essence is 70 percent. This should also be indicated on the label.

The bottle in which the product is poured must be glass. This is a safety standard, because vinegar essence can “corrode” the plastic over time.

There must be three convex balls on the neck of the bottle. They are a sign that the contents should not be ingested. Information in this form is intended for the blind.

Check the product for quality before purchasing. To do this, shake the bottle. Real vinegar essence foams at first, but quickly calms down. The counterfeit product produces a lot of foam, which does not go away for a long time.

There is no need to buy low-quality vinegar essence. Firstly, it will be problematic to dilute it, because the proportions of the solution may be incorrectly indicated on the label. In addition, this product is dangerous and may have negative health effects.

use of vinegar, dilute vinegar, vinegar

In the kitchen, every housewife has a bottle of vinegar, and perhaps several with different types. This is not surprising, since it is widely used in cooking to create various dressings for salads and sauces, when preserving preparations for the winter, and even to add fluffiness to some types of dough.

In addition to cooking, vinegar is also used in everyday life, for example, to eliminate unpleasant odors in the refrigerator or scale in the kettle. In this article you will learn how to make 9 percent vinegar from 70% vinegar. But first, let's talk a little about its types.

Types of essence

Vinegar is a product obtained as a result of the natural souring of juices of various fruits or dry grape wines. There are many different types of this essence; almost every country produces its own variety, which is most in demand in the cuisine of a given region.

The most common types of vinegar are:

1. White wine - prepared by processing white wine varieties. Its distinctive feature is a pleasant piquant taste;
2. Red wine, which is the result of processing red wine (malbec, cabernet, merlot). Much less common is rose wine vinegar;
3. Balsamic is the oldest variety, the production technology of which is more than a thousand years old. Thanks to infusion in special wooden barrels, it has a dark color, viscous consistency and a soft, rich taste;
4. Sherry is the most expensive, since the preparation process is longer, and the starting product is expensive wine made from Palomino Vino grapes;
5. Apple – has a beautiful amber color and an island-sour taste. The raw material for its production is cider or apple pomace;

Rice wine, coconut and malt vinegars are also used in cooking.

How to dilute vinegar correctly

Since concentrated vinegar essence and even diluted table vinegar often cause burns and poisoning, it is therefore very important to properly dilute the essence to the required concentration, following all safety rules:

1. Prepare a sufficient amount of cold filtered drinking water in advance;
2. Do not eat or drink any drinks while working with aggressive liquids;
3. Use only measuring cups to measure the required amount of water and vinegar, and not tablespoons or other available containers. Moreover, do not breed “by eye”;
4. If during the process a drop of diluted or concentrated liquid gets on the skin or eyes, immediately rinse the area with plenty of water;
5. Since the acid evaporates very quickly, it and the finished solution must be stored in a tightly closed container away from sunlight.

Was 70% - became 9 percent

How to make 9 percent vinegar from 70% vinegar? Culinary recipes often indicate the required amount of acetic acid of 9% concentration that must be taken. Since these values ​​are small, you should not immediately dilute the entire bottle with 70% essence. You can prepare a given amount of a substance using the following formula:

E = (K y * O y) / K E,

where E is the required amount of essence;

K y – required concentration of vinegar;

O y – required volume of the finished solution;

KE – essence concentration.

For example, if the recipe requires 100 ml of nine percent vinegar from 70% concentrated essence, then substituting all the data into the formula, we get:

E = (K y * O y) / K E = (9 * 100) / 70 = 13.

This means that you need to take 13 ml of 70% vinegar and add the rest of the volume with cold drinking water. In this way, you can prepare any amount of vinegar of any concentration and from any raw material.

How to get 9% vinegar from essences of different concentrations

Often used to prepare various marinades for canning, 9% vinegar can be prepared not only from 70% essence, but also from solutions of other concentrations.

If the concentration of the essence was 80%, then one part of it will require eight times more water to obtain a 9% solution.

For one unit of volume of 70% vinegar essence, seven units of water are required to obtain a solution of the required concentration.

In the case of 30% essence, this ratio will be 1 to 2, that is, for 50 ml of acetic acid you will need to take 100 ml of water.

Measuring table

Since liquids of different concentrations are used in cooking, cosmetology and everyday life, a measuring table will become an indispensable assistant for many housewives, which will tell you how much water and the starting product is needed to obtain the required solution.

It would not be amiss to once again draw attention to the fact that working with concentrated acetic acid requires special care. The danger is posed not only by the liquid itself, but also by its vapors, which, if inhaled, can cause burns to the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.

You need to store the acetic acid solution in any concentration in a place that will remain inaccessible to children, and under no circumstances use vinegar undiluted.
