Interpretation: The reason for the pH of a solution of H2SO4 to remain below 7 when 1 mole of NaOH is added to the solution needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: The pH of an aqueous solution is defined as
Here,
The pOH of an aqueous solution is the negative logarithm of the hydroxide,
Here,
An acid-base neutralization reaction is a reaction of
The reaction above is quantitative and consumes equal amounts of
It is known that for solutions rich in
