Well, first of all you need to know how pHs work. Acids have a pH from numbers 1 to 6, with 1 the strongest. Alkalis have pH numbers from 8 to 14, with 14 the strongest. Therefore 7 is neutral because it is inbetween. When you add an acid to an alkali, depending on its' pH level, it moves towards neutral. Hope this helps
