Question
How is the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) affected when a solution of an acid is diluted?
Solution
When an acid is diluted, the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) per unit volume decreases. This means that the strength of the acid decreases.
Concentration of hydronium ions =`"Volume of solute (acid)"/"Volume of solution"`
