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.

How could you make concentrated solution weaker?

A concentrated solution can be weakened by adding more of the solution material (usually water) to dilute it.


Are concentrated acids weaker than diluted acids?

No.


Why is vinegar weaker than sulfuric acid?

Because the acid in vinegar is acetic acid, a weak organic acid that disassociates in solution only to about 1%. Sulfuric acid disassociates almost 100% in solution, so the proton concentration, H3O +, is much more concentrated in a strong acid than in a weak one.


What do you need to do to a concetrated solution to make it weaker?

Dilute it (add water).


Is a concentrated acid always a strong acid?

a strong acid like HF, H2SO4...are stronger when they are concentrated, weaker acids are weak even they are concentrated

Does Uranus have a stronger or weaker gravity than Earth?

Uranus has a slightly weaker "surface gravity" compared with the Earth.


What happens to pH when acid is added to water?

It won't have neutralised the acid but it will be weaker because it is less concentrated


Would a weaker acid increase the strength of a stronger acid when combined?

No. A weaker acid mixed with a stronger acid would dilute the stronger acid. The resulting pH would be in between that of the mixed acids.


What do you need to do to a concentrated solution to make it weaker?

You can dilute it by adding more solvent. Many solutions are in water. Therefore, adding more water will decrease the concentration. C = n/v Concentration is inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the amount of solute. An increase in volume or a decrease in the amount of solute, will decrease concentration.
