∙ 12y agoUsually 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.

a strong acid is lower on the pH scale a strong base is higher on the pH scale
A strong acid completely dissolve into ions when mixed with water. A weak acid only partially dissolve.
A strong acid dissociates more fully than a weak acid.
First, HF, is weak, second HCl is strong acid

Depends On their PH Level. A PH Scale will tell you the strength of an acid- OR base. The strength depends on how much it canw wear materials and how diluted it is.

A strong acid ionizes partially in water while a weak acid ionizes fully in water.
A strong acid dissociates more, producing a greater concentration of H+ ions in solution, giving a lower pH than a weak acid.
Hydrochloric acid is HCl and it is a strong acid. Perchloric acdi is HClO4 and is an even stronger acid.
A strong acid is usually of pH 1-3
Strong Acid
It's considered a dilute acid, not a weak acid. That term has a very specific meaning. A strong acid is one that ionizes (many chemistry texts use the word "dissociate") completely in water, and a weak acid is one that doesn't completely ionize. Hydrochloric acid is a "strong" acid; hydrofluoric acid is a "weak" acid even though it's more corrosive than hydrochloric acid is. So...you could take hydrochloric acid (a strong acid) and mix it with a lot of water, get it up to pH 6, and still have a strong acid.
