It's considered a dilute acid, not a weak acid. That term has a very specific meaning.
A strong acid is one that ionizes (many chemistry texts use the word "dissociate") completely in water, and a weak acid is one that doesn't completely ionize. Hydrochloric acid is a "strong" acid; hydrofluoric acid is a "weak" acid even though it's more corrosive than hydrochloric acid is.
So...you could take hydrochloric acid (a strong acid) and mix it with a lot of water, get it up to pH 6, and still have a strong acid.

∙ 14y agoBecause pH operates on a logarithmic scale (pH=-log[H+]), a difference of 2 pH units is a difference in 102 (100).

What is pH of a strong acid and pH of a weak acid?
A strong acid id PH 1 or 2 and a weak acid is a number between 5 or 6 Not 7 because that is neutral
Is it possible for a strong acid and a weak acid to have the same pH?
Yes In theory, you could have a very weak solution of a strong acid and a stong solution of a weak acid and they would have the same pH.
Is the solution with a pH of 2 a strong or weak base or a strong or weak acid?
pH below 7 always is acid, base has pH above 7.
How does pH of a strong acid compare with the pH of a weak acid?
pH of a strong acid would be '1' or '2' pH of a weak acid would be '5' or '6' . NB 'pH' is a logarithmic scale of the hydrogen ion content of a substance. The small/bigger the number, the greater/lesser the hydrogen ion content.
Is pH 9 a strong or weak acid?
A pH of 9 is not acidic, it is basic. in order to be acidic the pH must be less than 7 It does not show whether the base is strong or weak as pH depends on both the strength of the acid/base as well as its concentration.

What should be pH -value to be strong acid?
The pH will depend on the concentration of the acid, not on whether it is strong or weak.

Is pH 9 a strong or weak acid?
A pH of 9 is not acidic, it is basic. in order to be acidic the pH must be less than 7 It does not show whether the base is strong or weak as pH depends on both the strength of the acid/base as well as its concentration.
What does it mean to be a strong or weak acid or base?
a strong acid is lower on the pH scale a strong base is higher on the pH scale
How can you differentiate strong acid from a weak acid using an indicator?
if pH paper is dipped in a strong acid it turns red and if the same pH paper is dipped in the weak acid it turns blue
Would a strong acid have a lower pH level than a weak acid?
yes a strong acid would have a lower ph level
Which has a lower pH weak acids or strong acids?
strong acid
Is NaNO3 a strong or weak acid or strong or weak base?
It's neutral. PH of 7
