Hydronium ion

Hydronium ion is formed when a hydrogen ion accepts a lone pair of electrons from the oxygen atom of a water molecule, forming a coordinate covalent bond.

 Dilution

Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent (usually water) to it.

It is a highly exothermic process. Strong acid or base: When all molecules of a given amount of an acid or a base dissociate completely in water to furnish their respective ions, H+(aq) for acid and OH−(aq) for base).

Weak acid or base: When only a few of the molecules of a given amount of an acid or a base dissociate in water to furnish their respective ions, H+(aq) for acid and OH−(aq) for base).

Dilute acid: contains less number of H+(aq) ions per unit volume.

Concentrated acid: contains more number of H+(aq) ions per unit volume
