What is the difference between dilutes and concentrated acid's?

diluted acid is less concentrated i.e. it is mixed with water and a less harmful(like sulphuric acid.) whereas concentrated acid is in its original form...


How do you know if an acid is concentrated or dilute?

if an acid is more concentrated then it will have more H+ ions if it is diluted then it will have less H+ ions


Why is acid transported in concentrated form than diluted?

It is less costly to transport acid in concentrated form because it weighs less and takes up less volume than a diluted form.


Does diluting an alkali give a more concentrated solution?

NO!!! Dilution and concentration can be thought of as Chemical OPPOSITES.


What happens to pH when acid is added to water?

It won't have neutralised the acid but it will be weaker because it is less concentrated


Does more concentrated acid reacts faster with metal carbonate than less concentrated acid?

Yes, it is true. However, commonly it depends more on the acidity (strength) of the acid than on concentration.


Is Concentrated hydrochloric Acid a weekly or a strongly Acid?

Concentrated HCl acid is a very strong acid. Note the word 'concentrated'. What does it mean? Concentrated really means that the amount of hydrogen ions in it is very high. The strength of an acid depends upon the amount of hydrogen ions present. If the ions are more, then it is a concentrated acid and if the hydrogen ions are less, then it is a weak acid. As it is strong, handle it cautiously or may cause burns. I believe this satisfies your question.


Is dilute sulfuric acid a stronger acid compared to concentrated sulfuric acid?

No, although "concentrated" sulfuric acid (essentially pure H2SO4) is less dissociated than dilute sulfuric acid, simply because there's no water around for it to dissociate in.


What is done to strong acids and alkali's to make them safer to work with?

Dilute them. They retain their strength (if by strength you mean pH), but they are less hazardous when at low concentrations. Hydrochloric acid is extremely dangerous in a 30% solution, but as a 1% solution you can get it on your hands and have no problem.


What is more worst. concentrated acid or dilute acid or acid?

Concentrated acid is generally more harmful than dilute acid. This is because concentrated acid contains a higher concentration of acid molecules, which can cause more severe burns or damage to tissues upon contact. Dilute acid, on the other hand, has a lower concentration of acid molecules and is therefore less harmful. Acid, as a general term, can encompass both concentrated and dilute forms and its harmfulness would depend on its concentration.


What is the pH of phosphoric acid?

The pH of an acid depends completely on the concentration of the acid, thus, an extremely concentrated solution of phosphoric acid will have a low pH, and a less concentrated solution (as in some soft drinks) would have a slightly higher pH.


Does water make an acid or base become less dilute?

more dilute not less dilute. "Less Dilute" means more concentrated.
