Your spaceship has crash landed on the planet Dingleberry V. Looking out the window, you see a sea of unknown solution as far as the eye can see. Knowing that resources are limited, you must venture out and forage for food. The space-issue boots can withstand a pH range from 3-11. From leaning out the window (yeah - the window) you were able to collect 50.0mL of the solution in a beaker. By using 271.0mL of 0.15 M NaOH and an indicator, you have neutralized the solution. Assuming that the solution is a strong electrolyte, what is the pH of the "sea" around you? Can you walk in it?
