How can a concentrated weak acid be more chemically reactive than a diluted strong acid?

The diluted strong acid might be only 1% acid.
Quantities also change the reactivity.

What does dilute acid mean?
A diluted acid is a concentrated acid that has been diluted by water so it is not as concentrated. Sometimes the final dilution is expressed as a percentage of the original acid. More often we use molarity. In common lab use the dilute acids are 2M.
What is the opposite of a strong acid?
It depends which part of the stong acid concept you are concerned with: A weak acid is the opposite of a "strong" acid A strong base is the opposite of a strong "acid" A neutral solution is the oppposte of a strong acid (a reactive solution)
Why can concentrated acid be weak acids?
An acid is considered 'weak' or 'strong' regardless of concentration or dilution. An acid's strength is determined by how easily the H+ ions disassociate in an aqueous solution. Strong acids like HCl do this readily, and are considered strong, even when heavily diluted. Organic acids like Citric Acid tend to be 'weak' acids, and are considered 'weak' even when concentrated.
Is copper a reactive metal?
yes! but its not a strong reactive
Is lye reactive?
Lye is a strong base and can be quite reactive.

What is an example of a concentrated solution?
Drinking squash, concentrated vegetable boullion (stock), some fruit juices are concentrated then diluted again... basically anything that has been boiled to remove the water content is "concentrated".

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
IS acid dengerous for stomach?
If not the acid we use in our stomach. Diluted hydrochloric acid is what the body uses to begin digestion, but some other strong acid that was more highly concentrated than HCl would do great damage to the stomach.
Is 5m HCl a concentrated weak acid?
No it's a concentrated STRONG acid
It is possible to have dilute concentrations of strong acids or bases and concentrated solutions of weak acids or bases.explain.?
Yes; this is done in chemistry labs all the time!You can prepare a dilute solution (which has a low molarity; a lower concentration of H3O+, hydronium ions) of a strong acid (a low molarity) by placing a small amount of the concentrated acid in a larger amount of water.
Which base is strong but never concentrated?
A 5 or 10% solution of strong base NaOH is not a concentrated solution. Magnesium Hydroxide.
Why is aluminium so strong?
Although it is chemically very reactive, aluminum resists corrosion by the formation of a self-protecting oxide coating
