Concentrated sulfuric acid is stronger and more acidic than an equal concentration of acetic acid.
Sulfuric acid is considered a strong acid because it dissociates completely in water, whereas acetic acid is considered a weak acid because it does not dissociate completely in water.
See the Related Questions link to the left for more information about strong and weak acids.

If zinc is first added to dilute sulfuric acid then concentrated sulfuric acid and acetic acid in which case will the fizzing be most and least?
The most fizzing will come from the concentrated sulfuric acid, then dilute sulfuric acid, then the acetic acid.The amount of fizzing is due to the concentration of H+ in the solution, and concentrated sulfuric acid has the most H+ in solution. The dilute sulfuric acid has less (because it is dilute) and the acetic acid solution has the least of all because it is a weak acid rather than a strong acid.See the Related Questions for more information.
Is concentrated sulfuric acid stronger than dilute sulfuric acid?
When the concentration is considered, concentrated acid contains more molecules than the dilute acid. It is only one way to measure the strength. If we consider the reactivity with the absence of water and moisture, dilute sulfuric acid is more reactive than the concentrated acid.
Sulfuric acid plus acetic acid equals?
Hydrochloric acid is HCL Sulfuric acid is H2SO4 Mixing hydrochloric and sulfuric acid would just result in the sulfuric acid sapping (dehydrating) the hydrochloric acid of its water, releasing a small amount of hydrogen chloride. However, no chemical reaction is taking place.
What is the colour of glacial acetic acid?
Glacial acetic acid is concentrated acetic acid. It is clear.
Is acetic acid or nitric acid stronger?
Nitric acid is stronger than acetic acid.

Is dilute sulfuric acid a stronger acid compared to concentrated sulfuric acid?
No, although "concentrated" sulfuric acid (essentially pure H2SO4) is less dissociated than dilute sulfuric acid, simply because there's no water around for it to dissociate in.

How do you prepare liebermann burchard reagent?
To prepare the Liebermann-Burchard reagent you add 200 ml of cold acetic anhydride and 200 ml of glacial acetic acid at room temperature to a 500 ml amber glass bottle that has a polyseal cap. Turn the bottle upside down to mix the solution then add 30 ml of cold concentrated sulfuric acid.
Why is Concentrated sulfuric acid a weaker acid compared to dilute sulfuric acid?
Concentrated sulfuric acid has sulfuric acid molecules where dilute sulfuric acid has sulfate ions and hydrogen ions. Water in the diluted solution acts as the ionization medium.
Which is a stronger acid Hydrochloric or acetic?
Hydrochloric acid is much stronger than acetic acid. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, acetic is weak.
Is concentrated sulfuric acid flammable?
