  • Vinegar Specific Gravity: Understanding Density & Acetic Acid
    The specific gravity of vinegar is approximately 1.01 to 1.05. This varies slightly depending on the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar.

    Here's why:

    * Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance (usually water at 4°C).

    * Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid in water.

    * Acetic acid has a slightly higher density than water.

    Therefore, vinegar's specific gravity will be slightly higher than 1.00 (which is the specific gravity of pure water).
