Question

On which factor the type of acid, concentrated and dilute acid, is based on?
A.On property
B.On ionization
C.On quantity
D.A and B both

Answer 1

Hint-We know that the concentration of the acid solution is moles parts per million. We can also say that the acid concentration of a solution is based on the number of ions dissolved in a particular solvent. The ratio of the solute to the solvent determines the concentration of a solution.

Complete step by step answer:
In a concentrated acid, the molecules get easily dissolved in the solution. Whereas in a dilute acid a few portions of the molecules get dissolved in the solution.
In simple words, you must understand that concentrated acid is one, which has more molecules of acid ions per unit volume, while dilute acids are the ones who have less or few molecules ions per unit volume.
Therefore, we can say that the concentrated or dilute acid is distinguished based on the quantity. Hence, option C is correct.
Additional Information:
The property of acids differs from acid to acid. But the chemical property of acid does not affect the concentration. The concentration of an acid is purely based on the solution contents.
Ionization is used to check the strength of acid but not if concentrated or dilute.

Note: We must remember that a solution of acid is said to be concentrated if it is in its purest form. When some quantity of water is added to the same solution it becomes diluted. When eventually the concentration of water is more than that of the acid, the acid solution is termed as Dilute Acid. We must know that the sulphuric acid used in laboratories is very concentrated and strong (about 98% by weight).
