A solution of acetic acid in water is highly concentrated . Will you call it a strong acid ? Explain ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No , acetic acid will remain a weak acid even if it is highly concentrated because its degree of dissociation `(alpha)` is much less than one . This means that in water , only a small amount of the acid exists as ions whatever may be its concentration or amount dissolved in a given volume of water .
