Jan 28, 2015 at 20:42 comment added DavePhD @Marko You have to study Debye-Huckel theory and further advances of that theory. Activity coefficients initially decrease with increasing ionic strength, go through a minimum and then increase sharply.
Jan 28, 2015 at 19:30 comment added EJC Why does the activity coefficient increase, when the concentration increases? Is it because of triple ions formation?

Jan 28, 2015 at 17:49 comment added DavePhD @Marko OK, see digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/… should be no paywall, has pH -4 and below, I'll add it to answer
Jan 28, 2015 at 17:41 comment added EJC Negative sure, but I am interested in less than -1.7.
Jan 28, 2015 at 16:53 comment added DavePhD @Babounet the Wikipedia table isn't correct, the pHs are really even more negative than that at high concentration
Jan 28, 2015 at 16:38 comment added Babounet Another example, just check the wikipedia page for HCl en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrochloric_acid and you can see that you can "easily" reach negative pH.

Jan 28, 2015 at 16:34 comment added DavePhD @Marko As a substitute see community.asdlib.org/imageandvideoexchangeforum/2013/07/31/… which illustrates one of the paradoxes: that [H+] can be cut in half, yet hydrogen ion activity increases is a given example
Jan 28, 2015 at 16:16 comment added EJC Sadly, can't access the: Paradoxes: Demonstrating That It Is Not True That pH ≡ -log[H+].

Jan 28, 2015 at 15:00 comment added DavePhD @Marko, OK, I added to the answer, basically because hydrogen ion activity greatly deviates from hydrogen ion concentration in concentrated acids and pH is defined as -log of hydrogen ion acitivity, not concentration.

Jan 28, 2015 at 14:01 comment added EJC How is -3.6 possible? Please elaborate.
