Does an alkali easily neutralize a concentrated acid or a dilute acid?

Alkalies can neutralize both concentrated and dilute acids, but dilute acids are 'more easily' neutralized (i.e. require a smaller amount of alkali for the same amount of acid).
It is a simple chemical reaction, the amount of alkali required to neutralize an acid can be calculated if you know how they react and the strengths of the acid and alkali.
E.g. if you use Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) to neutralize Hydrochloric acid (HCL) the reaction is:
KOH + HCL --) KCL + H2O
So one molecule of KOH neutralizes one molecule of HCL
If you have 1 molar KOH, then :
10 ml of dilute HCL (0.1 molar strength) will be neutralized by 1 ml of KOH
10 ml of a strong HCL (10 molar strength) will be neutralized by 100 ml of KOH
Hope that helps.

Is a strong acid concentrated?
No. The strength and concentration of and acid are completely unrelated. A strong acid may be concentrated or dilute; the same is true of a weak acid. The strength of an acid is a specific chemical property of that substance involving how easily a hydrogen ion (H+) will break away from the molecule while concentration is the amount of the substance dissolved in a given volume of water.
Is sodium easily burn with a small flame in air?
The sodium is alkali metal it cannot be easily burn in a small flame
Why is precipitation carried out by mixing slowly dilute solutions of barium chloride and sodium sulfate at a temperature near the boiling point?
Primarily to prevent inclusion of unreacted solution in the precipitate, which could easily occur if the solutions were concentrated, mixed too rapidly, or mixed at too low a temperature.
Why is alkali the most reactive metals?
the alkali metals are the most reactive because they only have 1 electron in their outer shell, so they are 'ready' to lose it really easily.
Choose the element that will most easily lose an electron?
Alkaline Earths will most easily lose an electron. This is because the have a smaller alkali radii than alkali metals causing them to not be as tightly bound to the nucleus. This makes the more readily lose their electrons.
Why RNA can be hydrolyzed by dilute alkali but not DNA?
as DNA is more stable than RNA .So,RNA gets easily hydrolysed easily by hydrolysing phosphodiester bond.
Why property makes the alkali metals very reactive?
The alkali metals have a low electronegativity and they easily loss an electron.
Why alkali metals is photosensitive?
because they can release electrons easily
Is a strong acid concentrated?
No. The strength and concentration of and acid are completely unrelated. A strong acid may be concentrated or dilute; the same is true of a weak acid. The strength of an acid is a specific chemical property of that substance involving how easily a hydrogen ion (H+) will break away from the molecule while concentration is the amount of the substance dissolved in a given volume of water.
Was the alkali metals are very stable and no react easily with other elements?
No.
What happens when the alkali metals react with chlorine?
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
Is sodium easily burn with a small flame in air?
The sodium is alkali metal it cannot be easily burn in a small flame

Acids naturally present in food are safe to eat because they usually are A concentrated B dilute C strong D weak?
Acids in food are safe because they are dilute and most are classified as weak-meaning that they do not ionize(give up protons) easily. Strong or weak classification does not necessarily relate to toxicity, hydrofluoric and hydrocyanic acids are classified as weak acids, but are both extremely toxic. Phosphoric acid is a moderate strength acid but it is present in dilute form in many cola drinks D: weak
What are metals that lose electrons easily called?
Alkali and alkaline earth metals. Cations.
Why is alkali the most reactive metals?
the alkali metals are the most reactive because they only have 1 electron in their outer shell, so they are 'ready' to lose it really easily.
Which element in the alkali metals most easily loses electrons and why?
This is francium because having a very lower electronegativity can loss easily an electron.
