An "acid" is a chemical that has a PH lower than 7.0 and a "base" is a chemical that has a PH higher than 7.0.

It would be impossible for a chemical to have a PH both lower and higher than 7.0 at the same time.

Pure water has a PH of exactly 7.0 and is therefore neither an acid nor a base.

If pure bromine is contacted with sulfuric acid, the only possible source of bromine atoms for a potential chemical product is the original bromine itself; the sulfuric acid does not contain any bromine atoms and therefore can not supply any additional atoms to make more bromine.
