No, dilute acids such as HCl, HNO3 etc can cause severe burns to the eyes, throat and skin. They are still dangerous and poisonous.

Is a strong acid safe as long as it's a dilute solution?
Not necessarily. It depends on exactly what you mean by "safe", and "dilute" in chemical stockroom terms can still mean "pretty darn strong" in layman's terms... for example, the lab bottle marked "dilute sulfuric acid" is probably 6M, and is quite corrosive.
Can a person dehydrate if immersed in a strong saline solution?
Its possible, if they are in there for long enough.
How do you separate unused zinc after reacting excess zinc with dilute sulphuric acid?
When excess zinc metal is used in a reaction, it can be removed by simple filtration, as long as the particles are big enough. If the zinc particles are too small to be removed by filtration, other techniques such as centrifugation must be employed.
Is hydrochloric acid a fatty acid?
No, hydrochloric acid is not a fatty acid.It is a mineral acid. A fatty acid is that acid which has carboxyllic group attached to a long aliphatic chain. The aliphatic chain may or may not be saturated.
A carboxylic acid that has a long hydrocarbon chain and derived from a natural source.?
For example the palmitic acid.
A strong acid is a safe as long as it's in a dilute solution?
Nope! :D
Is the following sentence true or false A strong acid is safe as long as it's in a dilute solution?
The question is impossible to answer. The terms "strong" and "dilute" are not defined. This is particularly relevant since no matter how strong an acid in its pure form, if sufficiently diluted, there may be one active molecule of the acid in a kilo litre of solution

How does acid rain arose?
When sulfur dioxide is released from factories and other sources, it goes up to the clouds and reacts with water to form a dilute sulfuric acid. The acid being dilute is the main reason behind the long term effects of acidic rain.
Is H2SO3 a weak or strong acid?
It is a weak acid. The only strong acids are H2SO4, HCl, HCLO4, and HNO3
Is codeine sulphale pure codeine?
Pure codeine base is not very soluble in water, and it doesn't have a very long shelf-life. Such chemicals are often salted with a dilute strong acid to make them more water soluble and increase their stability. So Codeine Sulphate is Codeine base plus a little bit of sulphuric acid.
Can a person dehydrate if immersed in a strong saline solution?
Its possible, if they are in there for long enough.
Examples of a strong acid?
The common strong mineral acids that you will encounter are Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4), Perchloric Acid (HClO4), Nitric Acid (HNO3), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Hydrobromic acid (HBr), and Hydroriodic acid (HI) There are more and what makes an acid "strong" actually requires a long explanation, let me know if you're interested in that. As a chemist, I can telly you that the 3 most common strong acids we use are Sulfuric, Nitric, and Hydrochloric.
How long for cement mortor to set?
Cement mortar should be allowed to set overnight before disturbing, several days if you plan on washing it with dilute muriatic acid.
Why add the nitric acid?
Nitric acid (HNO3), also known as aqua fortis and spirit of nitre, is a highly corrosive and toxic strong mineral acid which is normally colorless but tends to acquire a yellow cast due to the accumulation of oxides of nitrogen if long-stored. Ordinary nitric acid has a concentration of 68%. When the solution contains more than 86% of it, it is referred to as fuming nitric acid. Depending on the amount of nitrogen dioxide present, fuming nitric acid is further characterized as white fuming nitric acid or red fuming nitric acid, at concentrations above 95%. Nitric acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent.
What is metallic acids?
Hydrogen gas plus metal halide (depends in the anion in the acid). It's going to be a single replacement reaction, so long as it's a strong acid.
How do you safely handle in acids and bases?
Acids are often defined as substances that donate hydrogen ions, while bases take hydrogen ions. Whether an acid or base is strong or weak, however, it's essential to take proper precautions when working with these chemicals. Follow these steps. Buy and use dilute rather than concentrated acids and bases, store them in a wooden cabinet, wear goggles, long sleeves and gloves, perform all experiments under a fume hood, limit the movement of acids and bases around the area, and always add acid to water to dilute never the other way.
