The strength of an acid is determined by how easily they give up their hydrogen ion, if they give it up easily they are strong acids, if they release the hydrogen ion slowly they are weak.

What makes some acids like vinegar weaker than other acids such as sulfuric acid?
They do not disassociate more than about 1% in solution while sulfuric acid does disassociate almost 100% in solution. Just the large variance in proton donation in solution marks a weak acid from a strong acid.
What happens to the pH As the hydrogen ion concentration increases?
as the pH increases in acids, the acids lose their ability to ionise in water, so less hydrogen ions are produced. so stronger acids, like hydrochloric acid with a low pH, produce more hydrogen ions than weaker acids, like ethanoic acid with a high pH.
Can it rain hydrochloric acid?
It is theoretically possible, but highly unlikely. The Acid in the sky is likely to react with other air molecules, neutralizing it, and possibly creating weaker acids. One would have to be on a planet where the natural atmosphere was already more acidic than hydrochloric acid.
What are the strength of acids and bases?
It depends on the pH level. Water is consider neutral at a pH of 7. Anything stronger (greater than 7) is considered basic and anything weaker is considered acidic.
Which amino acids other than tryptophan display fluorescent emission?
Perhaps other amino acids with hydrophobic side chains as tryptophan has. Tyrosine and alanine, among others.
Are concentrated acids weaker than diluted acids?
No.
Do stronger acids react more slowly than weaker acids?
No, stronger acids ionise much more as compared to the weaker acids. Hence they are more reactive.
What make vinegar weaker than other acids such as sulfuric acid?

Which acid does not contain H ion?
All acids contain H+ but stronger acids contain more than weaker acids. Alkalis contain OH-. In stronger alkalis there is more OH- and in weaker, there is less. This is why pH7 is neutral - the H+ and the OH- form H2O which is a neutral substance.
What is the definition of kryptonic?
Something powerful that makes you feel weaker than you are
Would you consider hydroiodic acid to be a stronger or a weaker than hydrochloric acid?
Both are strong acids (this means stronger than H3O+) but HI is stronger than HCl.
Why alcohols are considered less acidic than water?
It depends on the pKa of the molecule. In general, organic acids tend to be weaker than non-organic acids. (What I mean by organic acid is an acid that contains carbon in it.) There are many reasons for this, and I'm sure other contributors will add on to this answer. One major reason is electronegativity and charge density.
Does Pluto have a stronger or weaker gravity than earth?
Pluto has a weaker gravity than Earth. In fact, Pluto has a weaker gravity than Earth's moon.
Do people who follow a vegetarian diet become weaker than other people?
Not all, but some do feel weaker with a loss of energy.
Does venus have stronger or weaker gravity than earth?
Venus has weaker gravity than Earth.
Do acids have a pH greater than 7?
Acids do not have a pH greater than 7. When the pH is greater than 7, this makes it a base.
