A dilute acid is one that is not very concentrated. You can make an acid solution more dilute by adding water. Note that you have to be careful with the terms strong and weak; very strong acids can also be very dilute. Strong and weak characterize the acid's ability to dissociate in an aqueous solution, independent of concentration.

A diluted acid does not cause much harm as compared to concentrated acid (acids having more acidic characteristics). A diluted acid may cause a slight burn or irritation on touching the skin but concentrated acids can cause severe burns on the skin.

∙ 9y agoNo, a dilute acid is any acid, strong or weak, that is in a low concentration.
By the Arrhenius definition, and acid is a substance that releases hydrogen ions in water. How strong an acid is depends on how much it ionizes. A weak acid only ionizes to a small degree in water. A strong acid ionizes completely.

The more you 'water something down', the less concentrated it gets.
The concentration is usually measured in mol/dm3, so 0.1 mol/dm3 is less concentrated then, say, 2 mol/dm3. The latter could take your face off.
Nevertheless, always wear goggles, as sulphuric acid is always dangerous.

Why should the amino acids spots not be submerged within the solvent?
I assume you are talking about thin-layer chromatography. If the spots are submerged in the solvent, they will dissolve into it and become so diluted that they will most likely be undetectable. Plus, they will elute as a band, not as a spot. Your solvent will also be contaminated.
What is an example of a concentrated solution?
Drinking squash, concentrated vegetable boullion (stock), some fruit juices are concentrated then diluted again... basically anything that has been boiled to remove the water content is "concentrated".
How did scientists convert information when using reverse transcriptase insulin research?
from amino acid to nucleic acids
Are amini acids large or small?
They are actually called amino acids. Anyway amino acids are small molecules that are linked chemically to other amino acids to form proteins.
These are the basic building blocks of proteins?
Amino acids
Are concentrated acids weaker than diluted acids?
No.
What do acids do in the presence of water?
Get Diluted
What do acids for in water?
The acid becomes diluted
What happens when water is added to acids?
acid gets diluted
Are acids more dangerous when diluted than concentrated?
Concentrated acids are more dangerous.
How does the pH change when the solution of acids is diluted with water?
It gets closer to 7
What are the two Differences between diluted and concentrated acids?
Diluted acids don't have such a high PH scale so they aren't as corrosive and don't burn. Concentrated acids such a Hydrochloric acid with a PH scale of 1 are highly corrosive and will burn a lot, maybe so much that it'll eat through your skin.
How do you use acids and alkalis safely?
Generally speaking... no. It creates lots of heat and sometimes a BOOM. It depends how diluted they are.
What are the official acids?
Boric acid, HCl, Diluted HCl, Niric acid, phosphoric acid, diluted phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and glacial acetic acid. :) credits to my pharmaceutical chemistry book XD
Why should concentrated acids and bases be diluted very carefully?
because if you get the acid on you ,your skin will burn so you have to dilute it so its safer
Which one of iron copper zinc or calcium reacts quickly with diluted hydrochloric acid?
Among these calcium is highly reactive towards acids.
Are acids most dangerous when concentrated or diluted?
yes it is it more harmful than dilute acid
