Whether or not an acid is strong doesn't depend on concentration. Most definitions for acid strength depend on the acid dissociation constant (pKa). Strong acids are generally defined as those with a pKa less than -1.74. Since HCl meets this definition, it is a strong acid, regardless of concentration.

Is a dilute acidic solution only made from a weak acid?

No, a dilute acidic solution can be made from either a strong acid or a weak acid. The term "dilute" refers to the concentration of the acid in the solution, while the strength of the acid refers to its ability to ionize in water.


How can a strong acid also be dilute?

A strong acid is determined by its ability to completely dissociate in water, not its concentration. So, a strong acid can be dilute if its concentration in a solution is low, meaning there are fewer acid particles dissolved in the water.


Is it possible to have a dilute solution of a strong acid?

Yes, it is possible to have a dilute solution of a strong acid. The strength of an acid refers to its ability to donate protons, while the concentration refers to the amount of acid molecules in a given volume of solution. So, a dilute solution of a strong acid would contain a low concentration of the acid molecules.


Are all dilute basic solutions are weak bases.?

No, in the same way a dilute acid can be classed as a strong acid. Even very dilute sodium hydroxide is still classed as a strong base.
