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.
Strong acids are found at the lowest end of the pH scale, typically between 0 and 1. Examples of strong acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid, which can fully dissociate in water to release H+ ions.
The difference between a weak acid and a strong acid lies in their ability to completely ionize in water. Strong acids fully dissociate into ions in water, while weak acids only partially dissociate. This distinction results in strong acids having a more significant impact on pH than weak acids.
A weak acid partially dissociates in water and has a lower tendency to donate protons. A strong acid fully dissociates in water and easily donates protons. This results in a difference in their ability to lower the pH of a solution.
Yes, a strong acid on the pH scale with a pH of 3 is considered highly acidic. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with lower numbers indicating stronger acidity. Strong acids have pH values closer to 0.
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.
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.
Strong Acid
Strong acids are found at the lowest end of the pH scale, typically between 0 and 1. Examples of strong acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid, which can fully dissociate in water to release H+ ions.
The difference is between dissociation constants. A high value has the meaning of strong acid.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid commonly found in the stomach. Perchloric acid (HClO4) is a strong acid used as an oxidizing agent in laboratories. Perchloric acid contains an additional oxygen atom compared to hydrochloric acid.
Water is not an acid and vinegar is. Another difference would be that water has no odour and vinegar has a very strong odour.
