It's considered a dilute acid, not a weak acid. That term has a very specific meaning.
A strong acid is one that ionizes (many chemistry texts use the word "dissociate") completely in water, and a weak acid is one that doesn't completely ionize. Hydrochloric acid is a "strong" acid; hydrofluoric acid is a "weak" acid even though it's more corrosive than hydrochloric acid is.
So...you could take hydrochloric acid (a strong acid) and mix it with a lot of water, get it up to pH 6, and still have a strong acid.
Yes In theory, you could have a very weak solution of a strong acid and a stong solution of a weak acid and they would have the same pH.
i think a strong acid ionizes completely in water while a weak acid ionizes partiallly in water therefore the pH of a strong acid is greater than that of a weak acid The first part of your answer was correct, but the second was reversed. The pH of a strong acid is lower than the pH of a weak acid.
Usually a strong acid will produce a lower pH, but not always. pH is not a measure of the strength of an acid (or base) but the acidity of a solution, which is dependent on both the strength of the acid or base and its concentration in the solution.
When a weak base is titrated with a strong acid, the pH of the solution decreases. This is because the strong acid neutralizes the weak base, leading to an increase in the concentration of H ions in the solution, which lowers the pH.
You can differentiate between a strong acid and a weak acid using an indicator by examining the pH change. A strong acid will cause a more significant decrease in pH and produce a more intense color change in the indicator compared to a weak acid, which will cause a less dramatic change in pH and produce a less intense color change.

The pH will depend on the concentration of the acid, not on whether it is strong or weak.

yes a strong acid would have a lower ph level
The pH of a strong acid is typically close to zero, as strong acids completely dissociate in water to release H+ ions. The pH of a weak acid is usually higher than zero, as weak acids only partially dissociate in water, resulting in a lower concentration of H+ ions and a pH closer to 7.
strong acid
A pH of 9 is not acidic, it is basic. in order to be acidic the pH must be less than 7 It does not show whether the base is strong or weak as pH depends on both the strength of the acid/base as well as its concentration.
Strong acids have pH values below 3 , so it is a weak acid.
