Thank you! I would like to make homemade all purpose cleaner and the recipe calls for a 1 cup of vinegar with 5% acetic acid content mixed with a 1 cup of water. I only have vinegar with 9% acetic acid. Therefore I have to use 1.8 - 2 times less 9% acetic acid vinegar to get the same concentration as if using vinegar with 5% acetic acid content?
FOLLOW UP ANSWER: For homemade cleaner, you don't have to be exact. You can use 1/2 - 3/4 cup of the 9% vinegar + 1 cup water (or any multiple thereof).

It IS more concentrated by "strength" of acid refers to how much it ionizes, and the difference in % ionization between 5% and 9% (assuming that's what your numbers refer to) is minimal. So, in both cases, you still have a "weak" acid. As for concentration, you can compare 5% (0.83 M) and 9% (~1.5 M) and see that 9% is approximately 1.8 - 2 times as concentrated.

It gets digested. Your stomach is full of acid already--acid far stronger than vinegar is.I think you're supposed to dump the vinegar into the specimen bottle because the pH drop will fool those little dip-stick drug tests. Problem is, not only do they have tests to see if there's vinegar in the sample, a sample of urine with vinegar in it SMELLS like it's got vinegar in it.

The label of your vinegar bottle might contain information on alcohol content, but the alcohol would be so negligible that it isn't usually necessary for the percentage to be displayed. Unless you have testing facilities, if you need to know the alcohol content the best way to discover this would be to contact the manufacturer or distributor.
