i literally dont understand it at all how can it be strong and dilute i understand that strength=how much it dissociates and concentration=how many acid molecules per volume but how do i word this, im so lost

Maybe... A dilute strong acid is an acid which disassociates/ionises fully and contains a large volume of water mixed with the acid.

There is only a small number of acid molecules while there is a large number of water molecules (so low concentration of acid, dilute).
The small number of acid molecules do however fully dissociate into ions, so it is a strong acid.
