Acid strength measures the degree of dissociation in an aqueous solution while acid concentration measures the amount of available acid ions dissolved in the solvent. Therefore, the given statement is false. What is acid concentration? Acid concentration can be described as the amount of available acid ions dissolved in a solvent. The acid concentration can be defined as the ratio of the solute to the solvent content of a solution. Acidic solutions with fewer available ions in solution are known as dilute solutions whereas those with high available ions are known as concentrated solutions. Strong acids are fully dissociated in the solution and weak acids only partially dissociate in the solution. The strength of an acid can be described as the number of free ions in a solution. The greater the number of ions of acid dissociated, or the number of cations and anions released in the solution, more will be the strength of the acid.

Answer: It is false to say that the acidity of a given volume of 1.0 hydrochloric acid is the same as that of a given volume of 1.0 hydrochloric acid. That's because Hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid. One solution of acid is going to produce fewer hydrogen ion than another solution. On the other hand, hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, so a one molar solution of hydrochloric acid can produce a one molar solution of hydrogen iron. If you have a higher concentration of hydrogen ion in hydrochloric acid, the acid will be more acidic than if you have a lower concentration of hydrogen ion.
