Hi,

You are asking about the colligate properties of water. Take a look at this Science Buddies project idea:

Here is an explanation of freezing point depression:

It should be obvious I can’t give you a numerical answer to your question because it depends on how concentrated the vinegar is, and the degree of dissociation into pure ions of your other solutes.

I hope this helps.

Have fun with the project!

Best regards,
