Consider two solutions; one of a weak acid and one of a strong acid. How is it possible that a solution of weak acid can have a lowe than a solution of strong acid? Select one: The concentration of the strong acid is higher than the concentration of the weak acid. The concentration of the weak acid is greater than the concentration of the strong acid. The weak acid only partially dissociates in solution. The strong acid completely dissociates in solution. O O O
