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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is pH12 a strong acid?
No, pH 12 indicates a strong base, not a strong acid. A strong acid would have a pH value below 7.
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
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 colour is hydrochloric acid on a pH scale?
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.
How can one determine the pH of a strong acid?
To determine the pH of a strong acid, you can use a pH meter or pH paper. Simply dip the pH meter probe or pH paper into the acid solution and read the pH value displayed on the meter or color on the paper. Strong acids have a pH value below 7, indicating acidity.
Would a strong acid have a lower pH level than a weak acid?
yes a strong acid would have a lower ph level
What is the pH of hyrdochloric acid?
Hyrdochloric acid has a PH value of 1 hope this Helped :)
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 strong acid has a pH approaching?
0 to 4 are strong acids, so it is approaching 0.
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?
i think a strong acid ionizes completely in water while a weak acid ionizes partiallly in water therefore the pH of a strong acid is greater than that of a weak acid The first part of your answer was correct, but the second was reversed. The pH of a strong acid is lower than the pH of a weak acid.
