From safety point of view it is better to use high amount of weak acid other wise it would be better to use strong acid if human safety is not issue due to use of scientific equipments

What foods should I avoid in relation to acid reflux?

Food to avoid would be anything that has an exceedingly high amount of acid in it. Acidic fruits such as oranges or lemons have a high amount of citric acid in them. I would try to stick to neutral foods and avoid acidic ones.


Is Concentrated hydrochloric Acid a weekly or a strongly Acid?

Concentrated HCl acid is a very strong acid. Note the word 'concentrated'. What does it mean? Concentrated really means that the amount of hydrogen ions in it is very high. The strength of an acid depends upon the amount of hydrogen ions present. If the ions are more, then it is a concentrated acid and if the hydrogen ions are less, then it is a weak acid. As it is strong, handle it cautiously or may cause burns. I believe this satisfies your question.


A strong acid has a pH of what?

generally 1 or 2. the lower the pH the more acidic. please specify what acid you are asking about to determine if it is a strong acid or not. acidity is based (pun not intended) on the amount of hydrogen ions in the solution. so a solution of HF (which is a weak acid) could have a high concentration leaving it with a high acidity (or low pH). there are cases where more complex solutions, whom which are strong acids, to have a lower acidity (or higher pH) than a weak acid.

HI is a strong electrolyte. Strong acids, bases, and salts with high solubility make the best electrolytes.


Difference between a strong acid and a strong base?

An acid produces H+ ions when they are put in water. A base produces OH- ions when they are put in water.

What is the difference between the strength of an acid and the concentration of an acid?

Strength: how strong the bonds between the elements in the acid are. (the stronger the bonds the harder it is for the hydrogen ions to dissociate (break away) from the acid. Concentration: moles per liter. if there's a lot of the acid in a small amount of space there's a high concentration. just because the concentration is high, that doesn't mean the acid wouldn't easily break up.

What is the pH score for a strong acid and a strong base?

A strong acid will have a low pH and a strong base will have a high pH.


Why does a solution of a strong acid conduct better?

Because of the high proton concentration.


What makes an acid stronger than the other?

The difference is between dissociation constants. A high value has the meaning of strong acid.
