    Vinegar is 5% acetic acid.

    This tells you that for each 1000 g of vinegar, you have 50 g of acetic acid

    Vinegar is 0.25 M acetic acid

    This tells you that for each 1000 mL of vinegar, you have 0.25 mol of acetic acid.

    Those two are already contradictory since the first says that there are 5/6 mol of acetic acid in the vinegar and the second says that there are 0.25 mol of acetic acid in the vinegar...
