pH

If are a general acids, then if does this mean that the one will have a lower pH as pH is just a measure of concentration of H ions? Also, pH doesn't give us any information about the strength of an acid does it? As that refers more to how it ionises in water? I thought however that as a trend the lower pH the stronger acid... but this may be confusing correlation with cause and effect. (God-damn pirates and their damn global warming. *sigh*)

*edit* http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090125035227AA1sLJw
That seems to answer part of my question

The best indication of acid strength is the acid equilibrium constant, which we will learn in unit 4.
