The pH be lower in the beaker with the strong acid because strong acid gives more hydrogen ions.
pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity an aqueous solution.
When pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.
Hydrochloric acid is strong acid and in water dissociates completely:
HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)
Amount of hydrogen ions are the same as amount of hydrochloric acid.
At other hand, acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is weak acid and does not dissociate completely as HCl, so concentration of hydrogen ions in a solutions are very low.
Strong acids: HNO₃(nitric acid), HCl(hydrochloric acid), H₂SO₄(sulfuric acid), HI(hydroiodic acid).
Weak acids:CH₃COOH (acetic acid), H₂CO₃ (carbonic acid), HCN (cyanic acid).
