No. pH is a log scale. You can't have a pH of zero. ---- Above answer left in to correct a misconception. Yes, you certainly can have a pH of zero. A 1 molar solution of a strong acid has a pH of zero, and stock HCl (roughly 12 molar) has a pH of about -1.1 or so. pH is the negative log of the hydrogen/hydronium ion concentration, which for a strong acid is approximately the same as the acid concentration. The log of 1 is zero, therefore the pH of a 1 molar solution of a strong acid is zero. The log of 10 is 1, therefore the pH of a 10 molar solution of a strong acid is -1.

What will be the pH OF aqueous solution of NH4Cl?
5
What is the pH value of bread?
pH is the negative log of the activity of the hydrogen ion in an aqueous solution. A powder is not a solution.
What has a pH of 1 and completely ionizes in aqueous solution?
HCl
What is pH of aqueous solution that contain 3.98 X10-9M in hydronium ions?
8.400
What formula can you use to calculate the H3O plus?
In an aqueous solution, the concentration of H3O+ is the same as the concentration of H+. If you know the pH of the solution, then that's equal to 10^(-pH).
What is the pH of an aqueous solution C6H12O6?
The solution is neutral.
Is pH value only for liquids?
That is correct, only an aqueous solution has a pH value. There are certainly chemicals in either a solid or gaseous state which will have an effect on the pH of an aqueous solution if they dissolve in that solution, but until they do, they do not have a pH.
Do bases tend to decrease the pH of a solution?
No, the bases increase the pH of an aqueous solution.
What pH is your hair?
Dry hair has no pH. Only aqueous solutions have pH's. When hair is in an aqueous solution it normally has a pH of 4.5 to 5.5
Does oil have a pH?
No. The pH scale is a measure of acid in aqueous solutions, meaning that the solution needs to be mostly water. Since oil has nearly zero water, the pH scale is irrelevant.
What will be the pH OF aqueous solution of NH4Cl?
5
What pH do Alkalis have?
Any aqueous solution that has a pH value greater than 7 can be considered alkaline. A strongly alkaline aqueous solution usually has a pH of at least 10, and aqueous solutions of very strong alkalies can have a pH range above 13.
What is ammonia's pH value?
A 1.0 M aqueous solution has a pH of 11.6
How many liters of water must be added to 1 liter of an aqueous solution of hcl with a pH of 1 to create an aqueous solution with pH of 2?
9
What is the pH of an aqueous solution of HCl with a concentration of 42m?
the pH is .377 the pH is .377
What is the pH value of bread?
pH is the negative log of the activity of the hydrogen ion in an aqueous solution. A powder is not a solution.
Does water have a measurable pH value?
yes, pH can be measured in a water (an aqueous) solution.
