pH is not a measure of how strong an acid is.

pH is a measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution, which is dependent on both the strength of the acid or base and its concentration in a given solution.

What would happen to the overall pH if you dumped a strong acid into a solution that was slightly alkaline?

The final pH of the mixture will depend on how much of the strong acid you add. The initial amount of acid will neutralize the alkaline solution, and if there is enough of the strong acid, the final pH will then become acidic, i.e. pH < 7.


Is pH12 a strong acid?

No, pH 12 indicates a strong base, not a strong acid. A strong acid would have a pH value below 7.


Substances with pH values close to 14 are strong?

A strong acid always has a pH much lower than 14.


What is the pH score for a strong acid and a strong base?

What should be pH -value to be strong acid?

A number less than a pH of 4 indicates a strong acid.


What value on the pH scale represents a strong acid a strong base and a neutral substance?

Strong acid = 1 pH ( or lower ) Strong base = 14 pH ( or higher ) Neutral solution = 7 pH


What is the pH difference between a strong acid and a weak acid n the pH scale?

Usually a strong acid will produce a lower pH, but not always. pH is not a measure of the strength of an acid (or base) but the acidity of a solution, which is dependent on both the strength of the acid or base and its concentration in the solution.


How does pH of a strong acid compare with the pH of a weak acid?

i think a strong acid ionizes completely in water while a weak acid ionizes partiallly in water therefore the pH of a strong acid is greater than that of a weak acid The first part of your answer was correct, but the second was reversed. The pH of a strong acid is lower than the pH of a weak acid.
