Well, we know that a concentrated acid has a high concentration (obviously). And a strong acid is where the solute is completely dissolved into the solvent. That means that not all concentrated acids are strong acids.

Concentration involves the relative amounts of solvent and solute in a solution, when strength is related to the extent to which a substance dissociates :))
