<span>The reason it will be 7 for some titrations is that when you  titrates a strong acid with a strong base for example  HCl and NaOH the salt formed is conjugate base of strong acid and will be a very weak base
 That means that it cannot produce any OH^-1 and all the H+ has been converted to water.The only source of H+ or OH is water with a Ka of 10^-14 so the pH = -log [H+]=-log 10^-7 = 7 
second reason is 
When you titrates a weak acid with strong base at equivalence point 
only a water solution of the conjugate base exists 

CH3COOH + NaOH ----- Na+ CH3COO^-1 + H2O 
Since the conjugate base is the conjugate base of a weak acid it will hydrolyze in water like so 
for instance Na+ CH3COO^-1 + HCl---- CH3COOH + NaCl the equivalence point will be way BELOW 7 and in the case of above will be less than 5. So pH of 7 at equivalence point is only reached in strong acid strong base titrations.
hope this helps</span>

PH is 7 in case the strength of the acid and base are the same ( i.e. either weak or strong). In case of strong acid weak base or weak acid strong base titrations, buffer solutions can be formed which result in a pH other than 7

Answer:
              The pressure increases to 3.5 atm.

Solution:
                According to Gay-Lussac's Law, " At constant volume and mass the pressure of gas is directly proportional to the applied temperature".

For initial and final states of a gas the equation is,

                                           P₁ / T₁  =  P₂ / T₂
Solving for P₂,
                                           P₂  =  P₁ T₂ / T₁    ----- (1)

Data Given;
                   P₁  =  3 atm

                   T₁  =  27 °C + 273  =  300 K
 
                   T₂  =  77 °C + 273  =  350 K

Putting values in eq. 1,

                                           P₂  =  (3 atm × 350 K) ÷ 300 K

                                           P₂  =  3.5 atm
