acetic acid is a polar protic solvent. protic solvents have highly developed structures held together with H-bonds.smaller ion like F- can fit easily into these cages and becomes less nucleophile. while larger anion like, Br-can't fit and remains as anion. so becomes more available nucleophiles for attck in reaction.

What is the purpose of the acetic acid in bromination of cholesterol?
The acetic acid provides a polar, protic solvent for the reaction to occur in. This helps to stabilize the carbocation(cholesterol). This speeds up an assists the reaction. For more information you can read the Wikipedia page on SN1 reactions, or do other research on SN1.
What happend when add acetic acid to water?
They mix, and the acetic acid partially dissociates. I'm not sure what you were looking for here.
How do you get a 5 percent diluted acetic acid from a 99 percent acetic acid solution?
Take 100 gm acetic acid. With 99% purity,it contains 99 gm of Acetic Acid. To make 5% solution,add 1880 gms water.
What is the 1M acetic acid?
Add 60g of Glacial Acetic Acid to a 1 liter volumetric flask. Make up to the mark with deionized water. The result is 1M acetic acid solution.

How do you get Acetic anhydride?
As an anhydride, It can be prepared by dehydrating its acid, i.e. Acetic acid, by strong dessicant such as Tetraphosphorus decaoxide(P4O10) :P4O10 + 12 CH3COOH ----> 4 H3PO4 + 6(CH3CO)2O
