as you dilute the acid the flow of h;ydronium ions is slowesd down so the electrical energy pf those ions is convert to heat as per law of conservation of energy

What does dilute acid mean?

A diluted acid is a concentrated acid that has been diluted by water so it is not as concentrated. Sometimes the final dilution is expressed as a percentage of the original acid. More often we use molarity. In common lab use the dilute acids are 2M.


What is the difference between dilutes and concentrated acid's?

diluted acid is less concentrated i.e. it is mixed with water and a less harmful(like sulphuric acid.) whereas concentrated acid is in its original form...


What is the ratio of water and concentrated sulfuric acid in dilute sulfuric acid?

It depends on how diluted the dilute sulphuric acid is (i.e. its concentration).


What happens when you add sulfuric acid to water?

when mixed sulfuric acid with water in the presence of oxygen nothing happens but the acid turned from concentrated acid will turn into diluted acid.


How does the difference between a concentrated acid and a diluted acid affects the hazards of the solution?

A concentrated acid is more dangerous.


What is the difference in conductivity of concentrated and diluted acetic acid?

diluted is more conductive


Safest way to dilute concentrated sulfuric acid?

Sulphuric acid should be diluted by adding acid to water while stirring continuously.


Are acids most dangerous when concentrated or diluted?

yes it is it more harmful than dilute acid


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 is the molaritly of 7 gram of concentrated glacial acetic acid diluted to 50 grams with water?

The concentration is about 14 %


How do you know if an acid is concentrated or dilute?

if an acid is more concentrated then it will have more H+ ions if it is diluted then it will have less H+ ions


Why is acid transported in concentrated form than diluted?

It is less costly to transport acid in concentrated form because it weighs less and takes up less volume than a diluted form.
