how can we classify acid on basis of water content in it ????

Dear student, 
​Please find below the solution to the asked query                

On the basis of water content, acids can be classified as follows:
  • Dilute acids: In dilute acids, the quantity of acid is less while that of water is more.  
  • Concentrated acids: In concentrated acids, the quantity of acid is more while quantity of water is less.
​​For example, we know that hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a very strong acid. However, dilute HCl acid will contain less amount of acid and more amount of water. Conversely, concentrated HCl acid will contain more amount of acid and less amount of water. 

Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.

In this reaction, the water molecule donates a proton to the NO 2 − ion, making OH −(aq). As the proton donor, H 2O acts as a Brønsted-Lowry acid. In this reaction, the water molecule accepts a proton from HC 2H 3O 2, becoming H 3O +(aq). As the proton acceptor, H 2O is a Brønsted-Lowry base.
