The strength of an acid can be seen using a pH value. pH values are 0-14, 7 is pure water, numbers greater than 7 are bases, numbers less than 7 are acids 0 being the strongest. For example an acid with a pH of 0 is Hydrochloric acid. So the closer to 0 the stronger the acid, the closer to 7 the weaker the acid.
