Explanation
Weak acid + strong base gives alkaline solution: \( pH = 7 + \frac{1}{2}pK_a + \frac{1}{2}\log C \); Strong acid + weak base gives acidic solution: \( pH = 7 - \frac{1}{2}pK_b - \frac{1}{2}\log C \); Weak acid + weak base: \( pH = 7 + \frac{1}{2}(pK_a - pK_b) \); Strong acid + strong base: \( pH = 7 \).
