the pH decreases since dilution affects the cocentration of H+ found ... thus the pH
so the more the water is , the less the concentration of H+ is for the same amount of H+

Will pH of the acid change after the dilution?
can you be more specific? "the" acid? pH of buffered solutions generally will not change upon dilution, following the henderson-hasselbach. however, pH of strong acids will change, following the standard equation: pH = -log[H+] yerp
Is it true that a ten-fold dilution of a strong acidic solution will decrease the pH by 1?
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.
Is strong acid on the pH scale is 3?
A strong acid is usually of pH 1-3
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
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

Is strong acid on the pH scale is 3?
A strong acid is usually of pH 1-3
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.
What is pH number of strong acid?
A number less than a pH of 4 indicates a strong acid.
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.

What value on the pH scale represents a strong acid a strong base and a neutral substance?
Strong acid = 1 pH ( or lower ) Strong base = 14 pH ( or higher ) Neutral solution = 7 pH
Would a strong acid have a lower pH level than a weak acid?
yes a strong acid would have a lower ph level
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.
