Acid + metal --> salt + hydrogen. The salt is formed in solution, and may or may not be neutral. Many of the salts we first encounter in chemistry are neutral or nearly so: sodium chloride for instance. However, the salt of a weak acid is alkaline in solution, and the salt of a weak base is acidic. So if you react, say, zinc with acetic acid you will get hydrogen and zinc acetate in solution, and that will be alkaline.
