Why can an acid can be described as both strong and dilute?
An acid can be described as strong and dilute because the strength of the acid is determined by what proportion of the acid dissociates in water, and it can be described as dilute depending on how much of the acid is dissolved in water. A strong but dilute acid would be almost completely dissociated in water, but with a relatively low concentration. An example of this could be a 0.01 mol dm^-3 sulphuric acid.
