An acid and a base are mixed in equal amounts and with equal concentration. The pH of the resulting solution is 8.5. Why is this?
I think it's either:
The base is stronger than the acid.
or
The base has 2 OH- groups.
Please explain your answer. Will give best answer.

your logic is fine - either one is OK.
I would go with that that the base is stronger than the acid - it is a weak acid.
