Strong Acid has a lower pH level than a weak acid, weak acid pH level will be closer to 7 than the strong acid. Weak acid does not dissociate completely, therefore a weaker proton donor, thus higher pKa. Strong acids dissociates completely and release all of their hydrogen atom when dissolve in water.
