the pH decreases since dilution affects the cocentration of H+ found ... thus the pH
so the more the water is , the less the concentration of H+ is for the same amount of H+
can you be more specific? "the" acid? pH of buffered solutions generally will not change upon dilution, following the henderson-hasselbach. however, pH of strong acids will change, following the standard equation: pH = -log[H+] yerp
No, it is false. A ten-fold dilution of an acid will INCREASE the pH by 1 unit. Remember pH is 0-14 where 0 is most acidic. Diluting ten-fold on a logarithmic scale will increase the pH.Conversely, a ten-fold dilution of an alkali/base will increase the pH by 1 unit.
No, pH 12 indicates a strong base, not a strong acid. A strong acid would have a pH value below 7.
Strong acid = 1 pH ( or lower ) Strong base = 14 pH ( or higher ) Neutral solution = 7 pH
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.

A strong acid will have a low pH and a strong base will have a high pH.
The pH will depend on the concentration of the acid, not on whether it is strong or weak.
A number less than a pH of 4 indicates a strong acid.
The pH will depend on the concentration of the acid, not on whether it is strong or weak.

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.
You should add a weak acid to change the pH of a solution very slightly. Weak acids will have a less dramatic effect on the pH compared to strong acids, allowing for more precise control over the pH adjustment.
yes a strong acid would have a lower ph level
