An acid is a substance that breaks into water to produce hydrogen ions (H+) and some other, negative ion.
A strong acid is and acid that completely breaks apart into ions. (In a weak acid, only some of it breaks apart). Nitric acid is a strong acid while acetic acid is weak.
A concentrated acid is one that is nearly pure. Usually 90% pure or more. So 95% nitric acid is a concentrated strong acid, while 95% acetic acid is a concentrated weak acid.
Acids are usually sold dissolved in water in a low concentration. For example, vinegar is 5% acetic acid.
Hydrochloric acid, another strong acid, is often sold in a 37% concentration.

What is the difference between a concentrated acid and strong acid?
Concentrated acid means there's a lot of it; that is, a high concentration. By convention, "concentrated" means "straight out of the stock bottle," for some acids this is nearly pure and for others it's not (phosphoric acid is typically supplied as a solution that's about 70% w/w phosphoric acid, for example). Lab bottles labeled "dilute" usually contain a 6M solution unless otherwise specified. Strong acid means that it fully dissociates in water (at least the first proton, for multiprotic acids). Strong/weak and concentrated/dilute are completely different scales that have nothing to do with each other. * 18.3M sulfuric acid is strong and concentrated * 6M sulfuric acid is strong and dilute * Glacial acetic acid is weak and concentrated * 6M acetic acid is weak and dilute
Is 5m HCl a concentrated weak acid?
No it's a concentrated STRONG acid
Is a water solution of a strong acid always concentrated?
a water solution of a strong acid is what?
Difference between a weak and a strong acid involves the acid's ability to?
ionize
Difference between a weak acid and a strong acid?
A strong acid completely dissolve into ions when mixed with water. A weak acid only partially dissolve.
How does the difference between a concentrated acid and a diluted acid affects the hazards of the solution?
A concentrated acid is more dangerous.
Is a concentrated acid always a strong acid?
a strong acid like HF, H2SO4...are stronger when they are concentrated, weaker acids are weak even they are concentrated
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...
Is 5m HCl a concentrated weak acid?
No it's a concentrated STRONG acid

What is the difference between a concentration and a dilute?
A concentrated acid has more acid than water and a dilute acid has more water than acid. True facts, otherwise known as its molarity. The greater the molarity the more concentrated it is (moles of acid/ liter of solution)
What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid answers.com?
A strong acid dissociates more fully than a weak acid.
Difference between hydroflouric acid and hydrochloric acid?
First, HF, is weak, second HCl is strong acid
What is the difference between a dilute solution of nitric acid and a concentrated one?
The difference is gradual, but not sharply drawn:Diluted means (more) lower concentration, in laboratory practice less than 1.0 M (
