Dilute or Concentrated Acids
- A dilute acid has the acid molecules mixed with a large amount of water
- Concentrated acids have little to no water molecules mixed with the acid molecules
Dilute and concentrated acids
A highly concentrated acid has a large number of acid molecules in the solution
- Different acids can be dilute or concentrated but specific acids are strong or weak
- For example
- Hydrochloric acid (pH 1) is classed as a strong acid which could either be dilute or concentrated
- Ethanoic acid (pH 3) is classed as a weak acid which again could either be dilute or concentrated
