On the pH scale, the strongest acids are located at the lower end of the scale, closer to 0. The pH of a strong acid can range from 0 to 3. Examples of strong acids include hydrochloric acid (pH 1), sulfuric acid (pH 0), and nitric acid (pH 1).
On the other hand, the strongest bases are located at the higher end of the pH scale, closer to 14. The pH of a strong base can range from 11 to 14. Examples of strong bases include sodium hydroxide (pH 14), potassium hydroxide (pH 13), and calcium hydroxide (pH 12).
