You could separate a mixture of acetic acid and water by using a method called distillation. Since acetic acid has a lower boiling point (about 118°C) compared to water (100°C), heating the mixture will cause the acetic acid to vaporize first. The vapor can then be condensed back into a liquid in a separate container, effectively separating the acetic acid from the water. This technique takes advantage of the differences in boiling points to achieve separation.
