dilute acid

A dilute acid is a solution where a small amount of acid is dissolved in water, resulting in a lower concentration compared to concentrated acids. It still contains reactive acid molecules, but their effects are milder and safer to handle. Dilute acids are commonly used in laboratory procedures, cleaning, and industrial processes because they are less corrosive and easier to control than concentrated acids. Examples include dilute hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid solutions, which can effectively react with substances without being as dangerous as their concentrated forms.
