Theoretically: yes! Technically: it depends. ;-) it depends on what? On concentration and acidity! Does a negative ph make sense? Not really! ;-) the definition for ph is true under the condition of a diluted (aqueous) solution! This means: if you have hydrochloric acid (1 mol/l--> ph=0), the water concentration does not change

Answer:
No.
Explanation:
Any acid that yields a concentration of hydrogen ions with a molarity greater than 1 will be calculated to have a negative pH.
For example, the pH of 12M HCl is calculated to be -log(12) = -1.08.
Which makes the theory false.

AnswEr :
No
Points to remember :
- Whether or not an acid actually has a negative pH value isn't something you can verify very well in the lab.
- In practice, any acid that yields a concentration of hydrogen ions with a molarity greater than 1 will be calculated to have a negative pH.
