Acetic acid only partially ionizes in water. A solution contains a large quantity of acetic acid dissolved in water. How can this acid solution best be described?

The acid solution is a concentrated solution.

Explanation:

Acetic acid is a weak acid, because it ionizes partially in water as shown below:

CH3COOH + H2O —> H3O+ + CH3COO-

A solution containing a larger quantity of acetic acid is termed concentrated solution.

This is so because a concentrated solution is a solution that contains more of the solute than the solvent.

A solute is the substance which dissolves in the solvent.

A solvent is the substance which dissolves a solute.

In this case, acetic acid is the solute and water is the solvent.

Solution is simply the combination of solute and solvent

Solution => Solute + Solvent

More solute + Less solvent => Concentrated solution

Therefore, a solution containing a higher quantity of acetic acid ( i.e the solute) in water (i.e the solvent) is called a concentrated solution.
