# A student prepares a \(0.0050\text{ M}\) aqueous solution of sulfuric acid, \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\text{(aq)}\), at \(25\ ^\circ\text{C}\). Assuming that both ionizable hydrogen atoms dissociate completely according to the equation
\[ \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\,\text{H}^+\text{(aq)} + \text{SO}_4^{2-}\text{(aq)} \]
what is the \(\text{pH}\) of the solution?
