Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid (the solute) in water (the solvent) with a solution density of 1010 g/L. If vinegar is 0.80 M acetic acid, what is the % by mass concentration of acetic acid in vinegar? Hint: Write down what you know with full units to figure out how to do this and remember that vinegar is acetic acid diluted in water and % by mass of vinegar = mass of HC2H3O2 /  mass of vinegar x 100
