In this video, we'll explore whether it's possible to have a pH less than one. pH is defined as the negative log of the concentration of the hydronium ion (pH = -log[H₃O⁺]).
We'll try different pH levels and take a closer look at concentrated hydrochloric acid, which you can buy at 12 molar. When we calculate the pH of a 12 M solution of HCl, we find that it is indeed possible to have a pH less than one.
