The pH scale ranges from 0-14. A pH of 0-7 is considered acidic. The lower the pH, the stronger the acid. So a pH of perhaps 0-2 would be a strong acid while a pH closer to 7 may be considered a weak acid.

It is depend on the Acetic Acid Concentarion , Molarity, For example , pH of 0.1M acetic acid? : CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l) -----> CH3COO-(aq) + H3O+(aq)

Ka IS DISSOCIATION CONSTANT WHICH IS CONCENTRATION OF PRODUCT/CONCENTRATION OF REACTANT.

Ka= [CH3COO-] * [H3O+] / [CH3COOH]

[CH3COO-] = [H3O+]

Ka of CH3COOH=1.74 * 10-5 (from data book)

1.74 * 10-5 = [H3O+]2 / 0.1

[H30]2 = 1.74 * 10-5 * 0.1= 1.74*10-6

[H3O+]=1.32*10-3

pH= -log[H3O+]

pH= -log(1.32*10-3)

pH= 2.88

pH of 0.1M acetic acid is 2.88

Is acid used in salt pools?

Yes, acid controls the pH of the pool water. The higher the pH the less effective the chlorine is and the more prone it is to scaling. The ideal pH range is 7.2-7.6.
