Why can you add about 20mL of water to about 5 ml of vinegar and it not have any effect on determining the concentrations when doing a titration??

um.....if you add water to vinegar (i take it the vinegar is 5% ethanoic acid) it becomes more dilute...

but that's the question that i'm asking...the vinegar's concentration doesn't change when water is added and i don't know why that is???

well it would certainly effect the vinigar concentration. but the only reason it could appear that way would be if your indicator was faulty, or whatever you were titrating into was reactive to vinigar. for instance if your indicator was testing for base, it would`nt matter how much vinigar at any concentration you added to. it wouldn`t make a difference :)
