Is a water solution of a strong acid always concentrated?
a water solution of a strong acid is what?
Is 5m HCl a concentrated weak acid?
No it's a concentrated STRONG acid
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.
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".
Difference between strong acid and concentrated acid?
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
Why is a concentrated acid not strong?
strong acids and bases dissociate completely; weak acids and bases dissociate only partially. In contrast, the term dilute and concentrated are used to indicate the consentration of a solution, which is the amount of acid or base dissolved in the solution. It is possible to have dilute solutions of strong acids and bases and concentrated solutions of weak acids and bases.
Is an stomach acid a strong acid or weak acid?
The acidic portion of stomach acid, is hydrochloric acid, which is a strong acid. However, this acid is quite dilute, which makes it less dangerous than concentrated hydrochloric acid.
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.
Will a concentrated acid always react quicker than a dilute acid?
It should always not be. As general, concentrated acids are more faster in redox reactions whereas the dilute acids prefer neutralization.
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.
Is battery acid a acid or base?
It is an Acid, and when concentrated, around 97%, as in batteries, has a pH under 1, (very strong) which can vary depening on the solution.As the name tells, it is an acid
