Thanks for the extra info. I figured it applied across many solutions. And your TLDR was my initial response - chemistry…well physics in general to cover everything else too, is weird.
The particular acid (sulfuric acid) in the graph is especially complicated b/c it has three different protonation states that are favored at different pHs. Other acids (like nitric, for example) at least only have two protonation states to worry about…
