No, because of the way pH is defined. It is the negative log of the Hydrogen ion concentration. In water the extreme values of hydrogen ions are 0 and 14 corresponding with 1 and 1*10-14. Any higher hydrogen ions than this and the solution would become electrostatically positive.

If we assume that ph is a matter of hydrogen ion concentrations in water (as it 'always' is) then we cannot have a negative ph value. It comes down to the electro-static behavior of water.
But if we are willing to state that ph is simply a matter of hydrogen atom concentrations then, yes, we could have negative ph values.
For example if we were to have one liter of hydrogen gas at STP then we would have 44 moles of hydrogen gas per liter. Which would give 88 moles of hydrogen atoms per liter, making a concentration of 88M.
The negative log of 88 is -1.95.
But discussion ph outside of a aquatic situation is kind of silly.
What else can I help you with?
What is the pH value of bread?
pH is the negative log of the activity of the hydrogen ion in an aqueous solution. A powder is not a solution.
How calculate pH for a solution?
HCl is a strong acid and dissociates completely. Therefore it can be found using the equation: ph= -log [H+]
Does phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine have negative charges?
Phosphatidylethanolamine does not have a negative charge, while phosphatidylserine does have a negative charge at physiological pH due to its carboxyl group.
how does the pH scale is a mathematical indicator of?
The pH is a measure of the activity of the ion H+ (the negative logarithm in base 10); the scale is logarithmic.
Is 2.77 a normal pH for hydrochloric acid thats 1M If not then how should I calibrate my pH meter at home?
No, pH 2.77 is not the correct pH for 1 M HCl. The pH of 1 M HCl should be 0 (zero) because pH is the negative log the the H+ and for 1 M HCl the [H+] is 1 M, and the negative log of 1 is 0.
What does a negative pH indicate in a solution?
A negative pH in a solution indicates that the solution is highly acidic.
Can pH ever be negative?
No, pH cannot be negative. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. A pH below 7 is acidic, while a pH above 7 is basic.
Can there be a negative pH in a solution?
No, a negative pH in a solution is not possible as pH values range from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. A negative pH would imply a concentration of hydrogen ions greater than 1 M, which is not physically possible.
Is the pH of solution is the negative logarithm of its hydroxide ion concentration?
No, the pH is the negative logarithim to base 10 of the Hydrogen Ion concentration.
How will you classify a substance having pH value negative?
A substance with a negative pH value indicates a strong acid with high concentration of hydrogen ions (H+). The lower the pH value, the higher the acidity of the substance. Negative pH values are possible for highly concentrated acids, like hydrochloric acid.
How does one calculate the pH of the solution?
The pH is the negative log of [H+].
What does a negative pH value indicate in terms of the acidity or alkalinity of a substance?
A negative pH value indicates that a substance is highly acidic.
Can you have negative pH levels in a solution?
No, it is not possible to have negative pH levels in a solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Solutions with a pH below 7 are acidic, while solutions with a pH above 7 are basic.
What are characteristics of pH?
pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion activity in a solution.
Is it possible to have a negative pH level in a solution?
No, it is not possible to have a negative pH level in a solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Solutions with a pH below 7 are acidic, while solutions with a pH above 7 are basic.
Can you have a negative pH in a solution?
No, a negative pH value is not possible in a solution. pH values range from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Solutions with a pH below 7 are acidic, while those above 7 are basic.
Is it possible for the pH of a solution to be negative?
No, the pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. A negative pH value is not possible as it represents a concentration of hydrogen ions that is not physically achievable.
