This question seems counterintutitive to me: my understanding is that a pH 7 solution is, by definition, not acidic. However, I recently saw a discussion in a textbook that mentioned pH7, acidic conditions.  Is there any way a solution can be both pH 7 and (Bronsted-Lowry) acidic?  (Of course Lewis acids might be in solution, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't the sense of the textbook's discussion.)

Thanks!

A soultion at pH7 is neutral like you suspect. I'm guessing you saw the pKa of an acid above 7 and are getting yourself confused. If not, let us know.

pH is not an accurate indicator of acidity.Eg.at low temperature,water(ice) has pH <7.But it is still neutral.

It depends on what we accept as ideal neutrality - pH of ideal pure water or [H3O⁺ ]=10^-7.
pH of pure water depends on temperature; in 23 C pH=7,  at higher temperature is slightly less than 7, and at lower temperature is slightly higher than 7.
