If an equal number of moles of a strong base and a weaker acid are mixed together, what would you expect the pH of the resulting solution to be?
a) pH higher than 7, because there will be fewer $[H^+]$ than $[OH^-]$
b) pH = 0, because the pH has been used up
c) pH = 7, because an acid and base neutralization always makes a neutral pH
d) pH lower than 7, because there will be fewer $[OH^-]$ than $[H^+]$
