It is necessary
-
- vinegar essence;
- water;
- measuring cup.
Instructions
Step 1
Take vinegar essence (acid). Note that 100 ml of acid contains 70 ml of pure vinegar. Decide to what concentration you need to dilute the vinegar essence. In cooking and household, the most common vinegar is 3%, 6% and 9%. For the preparation of marinades and various dressings, 9% is most often used.
Step 2
Look at the label on the essence bottle. Usually it says how to dilute it to make vinegar. If you need to prepare 3% vinegar, then dilute 1 part acid with 22 parts water. For 6% vinegar, dilute 1 part acid with 11 parts water. And to make 9% vinegar, dilute 1 part of acetic acid with 7 parts of water.
Step 3
Make the inverse proportion to correctly calculate the required amount of water and acetic acid to prepare the required amount of vinegar of any other concentration. For example, if you need to prepare 100 ml of 10% vinegar, then make simple calculations. 100 ml of 10% vinegar contains 10 ml of 100% vinegar; 100 ml of 70% vinegar (or acid) - 70 ml. You get the proportion: 100 refers to 70, as x - to 10. Hence it is clear that x = 14, 3. Therefore, you need to add 14, 3 ml of vinegar essence to 85, 7 ml of water. Based on this scheme, you will need 36 ml of vinegar essence and 64 ml of water to prepare 25% vinegar; 71 ml of acid and 29 ml of water - for making 50% vinegar.
