It solely depends on H+ concentration: each HCl gives one H+ ,
to calculate use pH = -log[H+]
So,
at [HCl]=1.0 >> pH= 0.0
at [HCl]=0.5 >> pH= 0.7
at [HCl]=0.1 >> pH= 1.0
at [HCl]=1.0*10-5 >> pH= 5.0
but don't ever use this simplified 'acid pH' calculus method when the answer comes close to (or exceeds) 6.5, 7 or 8 etc.
Dilute hydrochloric acid typically has a pH around 1 to 2.
Adding sodium hydroxide to a solution after the addition of hydrochloric acid will neutralize the acid and increase the pH of the solution. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base and will react with the hydrochloric acid to form water and salt, raising the pH of the solution towards neutral.
pH depends on the concentration of the acid as well as how strong it is. A 1.0M solution ( a measure of the number of molecules per liter) has a pH of 0 but a more dilute solution will have a higher (less acidic pH).
pH 1 Hydrochloric Acid is also in your stomach
The pH of hydrochloric acid has a pH of 2.
Dilute hydrochloric acid typically has a pH around 1 to 2.
HCl is a very strong acid: dilute solution (eg. 3.65 g/L) has pH of 1.0 , or when concentration is 3.65 mg/L then pH = 4.0.
Stomach acid contains dilute hydrochloric acid. At the concentrations found i the stomach the pH ranges from about 1.5 to about 2.0

It is actually classed as a strong acid being fully ionized
Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, so it has a pH less than 7, typically around 0 to 2. On the pH scale, it would appear as a strong acid with a low pH value, but it doesn't have a specific color.
This depends on concentration AND typeExample: pH = 1.0 for 0.10 mol/L acids which are strong and monoprotic (like HCl and HNO3)0.10 mol/L Acetic acid (weak, pKa=4.77) pH will be about 2.4 (in stead of 1.0 , if it were strong)
Hydrochloric acid at pH 1 would turn universal indicator red, indicating a strongly acidic solution.
Hydrochloric acid is found in the stomach and has a pH of 1 or 2.
