No, it is false. A ten-fold dilution of an acid will INCREASE the pH by 1 unit. Remember pH is 0-14 where 0 is most acidic. Diluting ten-fold on a logarithmic scale will increase the pH.
Conversely, a ten-fold dilution of an alkali/base will increase the pH by 1 unit.
It depends on the pH of the dilutant. if the dilution substance is base the acidic solution will become less acidic moving toward neutral pH, the more it is diluted the less acidic it will become. A base solution will remain base or about 7 pH
No, a solution with a pH of 3 is 1000 times more acidic than a solution with a pH of 6. The lower the pH, the more acidic the solution and pH is determined by a logarithm, so each time pH is decreased by 1 the acidity increases tenfold.
It depends on the original pH of both solutions.
An acidic solution has a pH below 7.
Adding water dilutes the solution and will raise the pH of an acidic solution (which is to say, the solution becomes less acidic).

The acidic character increases with decrease in pH because the pH and acidity are both dependent on the hydrogen ion concentration, with pH being the negative log of the hydrogen concentration. So, at the concentration of H+ increases, the negative log of the H+ concentration decreases.
An acidic solution has the pH under 7.
An acidic solution has a pH below 7.
the decrease of the pH in sauerkraut is due to the succession of lactic and acetic acid microorganisms that grow on the brine solution making it acidic.
A very acidic solution will have a very low pH.
Adding water dilutes the solution and will raise the pH of an acidic solution (which is to say, the solution becomes less acidic).
The solution is acidic.
One possibility is a 10% solution of hydrochloric acid.
A very acidic solution will have a very low pH.
