1a solvent like water can level the acidity / basicity of any compound
the above effect is called levelling effect
eXPL.
let the acid = HD
then in presence of water
HD+ H2O = H3O(+)+D(-)
thus each and every acid is converted to H3O(+) thus it is levelled
1so does this mean that all acids/bases have almost the same strength in water??? (if dilution is very high)...?

it depends on the equillibrium constant of the above reaction ..
