An acid is a substance that breaks into water to produce hydrogen ions (H+) and some other, negative ion.

A strong acid is and acid that completely breaks apart into ions. (In a weak acid, only some of it breaks apart). Nitric acid is a strong acid while acetic acid is weak.

A concentrated acid is one that is nearly pure. Usually 90% pure or more. So 95% nitric acid is a concentrated strong acid, while 95% acetic acid is a concentrated weak acid.

Acids are usually sold dissolved in water in a low concentration. For example, vinegar is 5% acetic acid.

Hydrochloric acid, another strong acid, is often sold in a 37% concentration.

What is the difference between a concentrated acid and strong acid?

Concentrated acid means there's a lot of it; that is, a high concentration. By convention, "concentrated" means "straight out of the stock bottle," for some acids this is nearly pure and for others it's not (phosphoric acid is typically supplied as a solution that's about 70% w/w phosphoric acid, for example). Lab bottles labeled "dilute" usually contain a 6M solution unless otherwise specified. Strong acid means that it fully dissociates in water (at least the first proton, for multiprotic acids). Strong/weak and concentrated/dilute are completely different scales that have nothing to do with each other. * 18.3M sulfuric acid is strong and concentrated * 6M sulfuric acid is strong and dilute * Glacial acetic acid is weak and concentrated * 6M acetic acid is weak and dilute


Is 5m HCl a concentrated weak acid?

Yes, 5M HCl is considered a concentrated strong acid. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that fully dissociates in water to produce hydrogen ions. The high concentration of 5M indicates a large number of hydrogen ions available in the solution.


What is the difference between a dilute solution of nitric acid and a concentrated one?

The difference is gradual, but not sharply drawn:Diluted means (more) lower concentration, in laboratory practice less than 1.0 M (


Is Concentrated hydrochloric Acid a weekly or a strongly Acid?

Concentrated HCl acid is a very strong acid. Note the word 'concentrated'. What does it mean? Concentrated really means that the amount of hydrogen ions in it is very high. The strength of an acid depends upon the amount of hydrogen ions present. If the ions are more, then it is a concentrated acid and if the hydrogen ions are less, then it is a weak acid. As it is strong, handle it cautiously or may cause burns. I believe this satisfies your question.


Is a water solution of a strong acid always concentrated?

Not necessarily. The concentration of a strong acid in water depends on the amount of acid dissolved in the water. A solution is concentrated if there is a relatively large amount of solute (acid) dissolved in the solvent (water), and dilute if there is a relatively small amount.

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...


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

What is the difference between a concentration and a dilute?

A concentrated acid has more acid than water and a dilute acid has more water than acid. True facts, otherwise known as its molarity. The greater the molarity the more concentrated it is (moles of acid/ liter of solution)


What is the difference between the reactions of concentrated hydrochloric acid and dilute hydrochloric acid with magnesium?

Concentrated hydrochloric acid is more reactive than dilute hydrochloric acid. When concentrated hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium, it produces magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas more quickly and vigorously compared to when dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium. This is due to the higher concentration of hydrogen ions in concentrated hydrochloric acid, leading to a faster and more intense reaction.


What is an example of a concentrated solution?

Drinking squash, concentrated vegetable boullion (stock), some fruit juices are concentrated then diluted again... basically anything that has been boiled to remove the water content is "concentrated".
