It does not matter whether or not HCl is dilute because either way it's a strong acid. Strong and weak are based on its percentage of ionization whereas diluting affects the concentration of the ions.

A dilute solution of HCl is not weak.

A dilute solution generally has more water molecules than the active molecules in the solution and therefore is relatively more weak than a full-strength solution.

The strength of an acid is independent of its concentration. HCl will always be a strong acid due to the high dissociation constant (Ka)

Do weak and dilute mean the same thing?

NO!!!! Weak ; The acid only releases a few of its H^+ into the solution Dilute ; The acid releases all its H^+ , but there is a lot of solvent.

Why is a concentrated acid not strong?

strong acids and bases dissociate completely; weak acids and bases dissociate only partially. In contrast, the term dilute and concentrated are used to indicate the consentration of a solution, which is the amount of acid or base dissolved in the solution. It is possible to have dilute solutions of strong acids and bases and concentrated solutions of weak acids and bases.


If you add solute to a dilute solution the solution becomes more what solution?

The dilute solution become a concentrated solution.
