A strong acid will, up to a certain point, have a pH which is the negative log of its concentration (in molarity units). This breaks down at anything much higher than 1 M (where even a strong acid begins to have trouble dissociating, simply because there's not as much water around for it to transfer a proton to) or much lower than about 0.00001 M (the pH of a solution of strong acid will always be lower than 7).

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.

What type of a liquid has a pH of 1?

pH scale is based on 0-14 scale. 0-6 is acidic with 0 being strong acid, 7 is neutral and 8-14 is basic. Concentrated sulfuric acid has pH of one.


How do you tell a strong acid from a weak acid?

Using the pH Scales, if I have 2 Acids, one with the pH of 2 and another with the pH of 5.8, the Acid with A pH of 2 is stronger. 7 in the pH scale means Nuetral, and 14 means very strong Alkaline.
