No. The concentration of and acid and the strength of an acid are two unrelated values. The strength of an acid is the degree to which it will break apart into ions when dissolved in water. It is an inherent property of any given acid. The concentration of an acid is how much of it is present in proportion to its solvent (usually water) and is independent of any properties of the acid itself.
You can take a solution of some acid and add it to water to lower the concentration or boil off some water to raise the concentration, but the properties of the acid itself remain the same.

A solution containing concentrations of H plus ions higher than pure water are called what?
acids
Does weak acid always act to change the pH when placed in water?
Not necessarily, if a solution of a strong acid is very dilute it will have a higher pH than some weak acids in higher concentrations.
Do both acids and bases have a pH higher than 7?
yes because acids are corrosive
Mineral that is higher concentrations in hard water than in soft water?
Mg2+ and Ca2+
How can you tell how strong acids and alkalis are using the pH scale?
Acids have a pH under 7, alkalis have a pH bigger than 7.
A solution containing concentrations of H plus ions higher than pure water are called what?
acids
Do weak acids react faster with magnesium metal than strong acids?
No they do not. Strong acids can ionize with metal faster because they have a higher concentration
Do strong acids have a higher or lower pH than weak acids?
Weak bases will have a higher H+ concentration.
Compare acidic and basic solutions in tems of their plus H ion and -OH ion concentrations?
Acidic solutions contain higher concentrations of H+ ions than pure water and have pH values below 7. Strong acids tend to have pH values that range from 1 to 3. The hydrochloric acid produced by the stomach to help digest food is a strong acid.
What is true about weak acids as compared to strong acids?
Weak acids have a larger value of pKa than strong acids
Do strong acids have more or fewer ions than weak acids?
Depends. Strong acids have more H+ and less OH- ions than weak ones.
Which is stronger a strong alkali or acid?
Strong acids are strongly acidic. Strong alkalies are strongly alkaline. And both strong acids and strong alkalies are equally corrosive, though I would say that strong acids and more dangerous to handle than strong alkali.
What do strong acids produce more than weak acids at the same concentration?
electricty
What has a pH higher than 7?
acids
Does weak acid always act to change the pH when placed in water?
Not necessarily, if a solution of a strong acid is very dilute it will have a higher pH than some weak acids in higher concentrations.
What is used to store strong acids and bases?
The most economical route while not compromising safety is storage in wooden cabinets. Acids together and Bases in another box together away from the acids. Do not place storage boxes higher than chest high.
Can strong acids react more easily with materials than do weak acids and bases?
yes
