Why is Concentrated sulfuric acid a weaker acid compared to dilute sulfuric acid?
Concentrated sulfuric acid has sulfuric acid molecules where dilute sulfuric acid has sulfate ions and hydrogen ions. Water in the diluted solution acts as the ionization medium.
What do you get when you add iron fillings to sulfuric acid?
If it is added to a solution of dilute sulfuric acid, it will react slowly liberating hydrogen gas. With concentrated acid, iron will undergo a series of red-ox reactions.
Is concentrated sulfuric acid flammable?
is concentrated sulphuric acid toxic
How much water is in sulfuric acid?
In concentrated sulfuric acid usually about 1%
How do you form oleum from sulfuric acid?
Dissolve excess Sulfur trioxide in concentrated Sulfuric acid
Is concentrated sulfuric acid a liquid?
Yes, concentrated sulfuric acid is a liquid.

Is dilute sulfuric acid a stronger acid compared to concentrated sulfuric acid?
No, although "concentrated" sulfuric acid (essentially pure H2SO4) is less dissociated than dilute sulfuric acid, simply because there's no water around for it to dissociate in.
How do you form oleum from sulfuric acid?
Dissolve excess Sulfur trioxide in concentrated Sulfuric acid
How do you make concentrated sulfuric acid from dilute sulfuric acid?
You need to remove the water by evaporation.
What is an example of concentrated acid?
Example: sulfuric acid fumans.
Is sulfuric acid a nonelectroylte?
Dilute solutions of sulfuric acid conducts electricity because there are free ions, although concentrated sulfuric acid don't.
Is concentrated sulfuric acid stronger than dilute sulfuric acid?
When the concentration is considered, concentrated acid contains more molecules than the dilute acid. It is only one way to measure the strength. If we consider the reactivity with the absence of water and moisture, dilute sulfuric acid is more reactive than the concentrated acid.
Which gives carbon with concentrated sulfuric acid?
sucrose
