Not necessarily. It depends on exactly what you mean by "safe", and "dilute" in chemical stockroom terms can still mean "pretty darn strong" in layman's terms... for example, the lab bottle marked "dilute sulfuric acid" is probably 6M, and is quite corrosive.

A strong acid is a safe as long as it's in a dilute solution?

Nope! :D


Is the following sentence true or false A strong acid is safe as long as it's in a dilute solution?

The question is impossible to answer. The terms "strong" and "dilute" are not defined. This is particularly relevant since no matter how strong an acid in its pure form, if sufficiently diluted, there may be one active molecule of the acid in a kilo litre of solution


Is a strong acid safe as long as its in a dilute solution?

No, a strong acid can still be dangerous even in a dilute solution. Even though the concentration may be low, the acidic properties can still be harmful to skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon contact or inhalation. Precautions should always be taken when handling strong acids, regardless of their concentration.


How does acid rain arose?

When sulfur dioxide is released from factories and other sources, it goes up to the clouds and reacts with water to form a dilute sulfuric acid. The acid being dilute is the main reason behind the long term effects of acidic rain.


Why addition of water to oxalic doesn't affect the molarity?

Adding water to a solution of oxalic acid does not affect its molarity because the total number of moles of oxalic acid in the solution remains the same. Molarity is calculated based on the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution, so as long as the number of moles of oxalic acid stays constant, the molarity remains unchanged.


How long does sulfuric acid remain active in a solution?

Sulfuric acid remains active in a solution indefinitely, as it does not degrade or lose its potency over time.


Is codeine sulphale pure codeine?

Pure codeine base is not very soluble in water, and it doesn't have a very long shelf-life. Such chemicals are often salted with a dilute strong acid to make them more water soluble and increase their stability. So Codeine Sulphate is Codeine base plus a little bit of sulphuric acid.


Is H2SO3 a weak or strong acid?

It is a weak acid. The only strong acids are H2SO4, HCl, HCLO4, and HNO3


Examples of a strong acid?

The common strong mineral acids that you will encounter are Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4), Perchloric Acid (HClO4), Nitric Acid (HNO3), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Hydrobromic acid (HBr), and Hydroriodic acid (HI) There are more and what makes an acid "strong" actually requires a long explanation, let me know if you're interested in that. As a chemist, I can telly you that the 3 most common strong acids we use are Sulfuric, Nitric, and Hydrochloric.


How do you separate unused zinc after reacting excess zinc with dilute sulphuric acid?

When excess zinc metal is used in a reaction, it can be removed by simple filtration, as long as the particles are big enough. If the zinc particles are too small to be removed by filtration, other techniques such as centrifugation must be employed.


How long for cement mortor to set?

Cement mortar should be allowed to set overnight before disturbing, several days if you plan on washing it with dilute muriatic acid.


Is hydrochloric acid a fatty acid?

No, hydrochloric acid is not a fatty acid.It is a mineral acid. A fatty acid is that acid which has carboxyllic group attached to a long aliphatic chain. The aliphatic chain may or may not be saturated.
