Question

What is the difference between a dilute acid and a concentrated acid

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\mathtt{\red{A}\pink{N}\green{S}\blue{W}\purple{E}\orange{R}}}}$

• A concentrated acid contains a large amount of acid in a given volume; a dilute acid contains a small amount of acid in a given volume. You might recall that the pH scale can be used to gauge the concentration of an acid.
• Dilute acids contain a large amount of water. A concentrated acid can be diluted with the addition of water. All acids may be organic or inorganic, releasing hydrogen ions (H+) in water. Hence, acid is defined as “a substance which gives out hydrogen ions when dissolved in water”.

$\sf{\underline{\overline{\purple{ Dilute \: acid :}}}}$

• The acidic solution which has a large quantity of water and a small quantity of acid is called dilute acid.

✦ Example :

• 3%$\bold{ \:Hydrochloric\: acid}$

$\sf{\underline{\overline{\pink{Concentrated \: acid :}}}}$

• The acidic solution which has a small quantity of water and a large quantity of acid is called concentrated acid.

✦ Example :

• $\bold{Hydrochloric \:acid \:(HCl)}$ and concentrated Sulphuric acid $\bold{\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\right)}$
