When an acid and base are mixed, they react and can neutralize each other. Neutralization is the reaction of an acid and a base to form salt and water. i.e. after drinking Orange Juice, you brush your teeth. Orange juice is an acid, while toothpaste is a base. The two react to each other when you brush your teeth, making a salty taste in your mouth.
