Detailed explanation-1: -For instance, hydrochloric acid comes in at about pH 1.6, nitric acid at 1.08 and pure sulfuric acid at a whopping pH-12. That makes sulfuric acid the strongest ‘normal’ acid you’ll find.
Detailed explanation-2: -A pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution while a pH of more than 7 indicates a basic solution. A pH close to 1 indicates a very strong acid while a pH just below 7 indicates the presence of a weak acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Strong acids and pH pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid at the sort of concentrations you normally use in the lab have a pH around 0 to 1. The lower the pH, the higher the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.
