Interpretation:
The properties of a strong acid solution are to be compared with a concentrated acid solution.
Concept introduction:
Strong acids can act as both an acid and an oxidizing agent depending on their concentration.
Answer to Problem 92A
The solution of a strong acid is not the same as a concentrated solution of the acid. A dilute solution of strong acid will show acidic property while concentrated solution will show oxidizing property.
Explanation of Solution
A dilute solution of a strong acid is highly dissociated and can act as a strong acidic solution. In a concentrated solution of acid the ions are very less dissociated therefore the oxidizing property of strong acid becomes prevalent.
A solution of a strong acid is different from a concentrated solution of acid due to difference in dissociation of ions.
