! assume that by higher pH you mean 1 or 2 and that lower pH means
3-6. Sulfuric acid produces more H ions per mole than HCl. Both of these ionize completely (or nearly so). Acetic acid, on the other hand resists ionization and produces few hydrogen ions. Concentration also plays a role. Very concentrated HCl could show a higher pH reading than dilute H2SO4

Hydrogen Ion concentration in the compounds.
