    strenght of the two different acids, sulfuric acid is much stronger and has a lower pH level (closer to 0)

    Check out wikipedia... tons of help there... good source for the lab writeup. I could type the differences all here but giving you the link would be much better:

    There is usually very little difference indeed between using these two acids. Teachers mostly use HCl because it's cheap, and it produces easy equations...
