Nota Bene
Whereas in everyday language strong is used to denote what in the language of chemistry is referred to as concentrated, for instance a strong coffee.
–That means a coffee (the drink) with a relatively high concentration of its ingredient.
A strong substance in chemistry (such as an acid) may not necessarily be concentrated, it may be dilute.
Similarly, weak in everyday language means low concentration while in chemistry it denotes an acid or base that does not dissociate completely.
–You can easily have a concentrated solution of a weak acid!
