>> you cant FALSE!

If you have glacial acetic acid, which is 100% acetic acid, simply add it to 9 times the amount of water.

This way, you will have 10% acetic acid, which is essentially 10% tabletop vinegar.

For the opposite, however, you can do as well, but it requires MUCH more effort and specialised equipment (at least a refrigerator and a vacuum pump).

One has to be very careful when diluting acetic acid. To dilute acetic acid, water can be used. Water and acid mixing causes heat to be released. The heat will get hotter and hotter if water is not added in small amounts.
