Answer:

the true statement is... The pH of the weak acid will be higher than the pH of the strong acid

Step-by-step explanation:

pH is a measured of the extent to which acids dissociate into ions when plced in aqueous solution.

Strong acid dissociate near-completely, and weak acids barely dissociate.

At equal concentrations, a strong acid will have a lower pH than a weak acid, since the strong one will donate more proton to the solution.
