Give the pH of a strong acid and an example.

1 answer

A strong acid typically has a pH that is significantly less than 7, often reaching values around 1 or 2, depending on its concentration. For example, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid. In a 0.1 M solution, its pH would be around 1, as it completely dissociates in water, releasing a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺).
