A solution of a strong acid will have a lower pH than a solution of a weak acid of equal concentration and volume because strong acids fully dissociate in water, releasing more hydrogen ions (H⁺). In contrast, weak acids only partially dissociate, resulting in fewer H⁺ ions in solution. Therefore, the strong acid generates a higher concentration of hydrogen ions, leading to a lower pH.
