If there were a reason to want a pH of 7, for example, while you have 30 ppm of CO2 in the water, you would add sodium bicarbonate until the KH is 10 dKH with the CO2 in the water, and you would have a pH of 7, KH of 10 dKH. If the CO2 dissipates down to 10 ppm at night, the pH would rise to about 7.5.
But, there are few reasons to want a specific pH in the tank. KH is the more important parameter as far as the plants and fish are concerned.
