pH is not a measure of how strong an acid is, it is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. This depends on both the strength of the acid/base and how much is dissolved in a given amount of water.
Any acid will produce a pH below 7, and a strong acid will usually produce a very low pH, but again, that depends on the concentration.
However, a pH of 0-3 would be considered a strong acid. Yet concentrated glacial acetic acid although very corrosive and strong would not have a pH this low.

∙ 13y agothe strongest acid is number 1 on the pH scale, number 7 is neutral, and number 14 is the strongest alkali/base.
hope that helped :)
the strong acid is sulfuric acid

∙ 11y agoIt depends on the concentration. For a strong monoprotic acid, the pH can be assumed to be the same as the negative log of the acid concentration in molarity (provided the molarity is greater than about 0.0000001). If it's lower than that, then just assume the pH is 7, you won't be far off.

∙ 14y agoA strong acid would have a pH of 3 or lower. The lower the pH, the stronger the acid.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThis depends on the concentration (molarity, mol/L):
E.g. for strong monoprotic acids like HCl:
0.10 mol/L then pH=1.0
0.01 mol/L then pH=2.0

What value is used to express the acidity or alkalinity of a system?
Normally term,'PH' of a solution is used determine the strength of an acid which is nothing but the concentration of H+ ion concentration in a solution. ph= -log[H+] concentration.... since its -ve log hence smaller value of PH means it's more strong acid. ph=7 is value of water which is neutral. pH ranging below 7 are acids & above 7 are bases.
What does a Ph of 0 mean?
A pH of 0 indicates an extremely acidic substance. Technically pH can be negative, but this is difficult to achieve.
Does the pH level in acid cause it to melt through things?
No, not at all. It's actually the hazardous chemicals in the acid that causes it to melt trough things. If the pH level of acid caused it to burn through thing then most soda like Dr.pepper would burn right through. But the pH level does contribute to it though.
What makes bases stronger than others?
the more readily the pair of electrons can be shared with an H+ , the stronger the base. if a base have a high PH value it is more strong for e.g. sodium hydrochloride (used in bleach) and if it has a low PH value that means it is a weak acid for e.g. sodium bicarbonate (used in baking soda).
PH values of acids?
Acids generally have a pH ranging from 1 - 6. pH 1 being the most acidic, and pH 6 being the least acidic. eg, hydrochloric acid, nitric aicd, sulfuric acid has a pH of 1. Ethanoic acid has a pH of 3.
What should be pH -value to be strong acid?
The pH will depend on the concentration of the acid, not on whether it is strong or weak.
What should be pH value to be strong acid?
The pH will depend on the concentration of the acid, not on whether it is strong or weak.
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
Would a strong acid have a lower pH level than a weak acid?
yes a strong acid would have a lower ph level
What colour is vinegar on a pH scale?
Vinegar on a pH scale is red. This means that it is a strong acid and the pH value would be 1/2/3.
What would happen to the pH value if you mix equal amounts of a strong acid with a strong base?
The pH value will be reduced to nearly 1 with the effect of neutralisation and the end products of salt and water.
What is the pH value of sugar?
Which sugar? How strong a solution? In the main, just slightly acid, I would imagine.
Does a acid has a pH of about 6?
It can be. An acid's pH value is always less than 7.
How does pH of a strong acid compare with the pH of a weak acid?
pH of a strong acid would be '1' or '2' pH of a weak acid would be '5' or '6' . NB 'pH' is a logarithmic scale of the hydrogen ion content of a substance. The small/bigger the number, the greater/lesser the hydrogen ion content.
What would be the pH of a substance that is a strong acid?
your but maybe
Is it possible for a strong acid and a weak acid to have the same pH?
Yes In theory, you could have a very weak solution of a strong acid and a stong solution of a weak acid and they would have the same pH.
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.
