To put it basic, when at a lower concentration, there is more 'space' in the solution for other substances to dissolve in etc. In a similar way, there is more space for the corrodant (the other material) to be corroded into by the acid. For instance, in a fighting ring, if there are too many wrestlers, there is not as much space to attack a person, though if you take out half the people, there is more space, and thus, a greater ability to do damage to the person.

∙ 11y agoThis statement is true regarding to surroundings without any water and moisture. In the dilute acid solutions, the sulfuric acid molecules are been ionized into hydrogen ions and sulfate ions. The 'free' protons can easily combine with any other substance. Whereas, concentrated sulfuric acid is not ionized it is not possible to release protons.

Is concentrate sulfuric acid corrosive?
Yes, sulphuric acid is corrosive especially in high concentrations.
Why sulfuric acid is mixed in water?
This is to dilute the sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid in high concentrations is dangerous and very corrosive.
Is carbonic acid or sulfuric acid more corrosive?
Sulfuric acid is far more corrosive.
H2s04is the chemical formula corrosive acid?
H2SO4 is Sulfuric acid.
What is more corrosive Sulfuric acid or Carbonic acid?
The "corrosiveness" of an acid depends mainly on two aspectsThe concentration of the acid - even the most corrosive acid is not dangerous at low concentrations e.g. 0.001 mol/LThe % ionisation of the acid - This determines whether the acid is a strong acid (100% ionisation of the first H+ atom) or a weak acid (significantly less than 100% ionisation of the first H+ atom) Sulfuric acids first ionisation H2SO4 + H2O ==> HSO4- + H3O+Carbonic Acids first H2CO3 + H2O HCO3- + H3O+With this information, and the fact that we know sulfuric acid is a strong acid and carbonic acid is a weak acid, sulfuric acid is more corrosive than carbonic acid (at the same concentration

Is there such a thing as sulfuric acid poisoning?
No, you cannot be poisoned by sulfuric acid. You will die from internal hemorrhaging resulting from the corrosive effect of concentrated sulfuric acid before you are poisoned by it.
What would happen if you split battery acid on a car made of iron?
Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is corrosive to metal.
What type of acids are corrosive?
There are a huge array of corrosive acids, but the most popular is: ♦ Sulfuric acid ♦ Hydrochloride acid
Why is sulfuric acid more corrosive to copper than hydrochloric acid?
E=mc2
Which would you say is more corrosive of concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated sodium hydroxide solution?
They are not comparable. Sulfuric acid is corrosive to some other material then Sodium hydroxide and vice verse.
Is sulfuric acid more corrosive to steel or PVC?
steel sure.
Why is sulphuric acid added with a measuring cylinder?
- because sometimes we need to know exactly the volume of sulfuric acid - also because sulfuric acid is corrosive and dangerous
