Define "stronger"
If they are solutions in water then, in one sense, they are as strong as eachother because a mixture of equal volumes of each will be (nearly) neutral.

Dredging my chemistry memory: For a solution of these vicious chemicals in water:
  • pH 14 (strongly alkaline, eg 1M sodium hydroxide) would have an OH- concentration of about 100, and H+ concentration of 10-14
  • pH 7 (neutral, like water) would have an H+ = OH- concentration=10-7
  • pH 1 (strongly acidic, eg 0.1M hydrochloric acid) would have an H+ concentration of about 10-1, and OH- concentration of about 10-13
  • To match the "strength" of the pH 14 solution, you would need a pH 0 solution (eg 1M HCl).
  • To neutralise a quantity of 1M NaOH (pH 14), you would need an equal quantity of a 1M HCl solution (pH 0) or 10 times the quantity of 0.1M HCl (pH 1).

Oops!
It seems I lost track of the zeros.
Well spotted.
