When mixing an acid and a base you will get a salt and water solution (But this is not the normal water that you would drink or, the normal salt you would put on your chips) .
Here is the word equation;
acid+ base= salt+ water.

Is the mixing of a weak acid with a strong base an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
exothermic
What does a acid and a base make?
Its simple, an acid + a base = salt Usually there is a fair amount of heat as well. Depending on the molecules in question, there may be gas produced, such as when mixing vinegar and baking soda (which are an acid and base).
What is the answer of process by mixing an acid and a base?
It usually depends on the strenght of the acid and base mixed. If you have a weak acid and a strong based mixed, you have neutralization reaction, in which H+ in acid is being neutralized by OH- in the base. Mixing a weak base and a strong acid does opposite, OH- is nutralized by H+. Usually these reactions are not complete and you have an equilibrium reactions. If both an acid and a base a strong you have a complete reaction in which water and salt are formed.
What happens when mixing a strong acid with a strong base?
It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
Why carbonic acid gives acid salt but hydrochloric acid does not?
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid, and when reacted with a strong base will give a neutral salt. When reacted with a weak base it will give an acid salt. Example, HCl + NH3 => NH4Cl.Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is a weak acid and is actually CO2 + H2O. When reacted with a strong base, it will give an alkaline salt and when reacted with a weak base will give a solution the pH of which will depend on the Kb and Ka of the reactants.
How do you neutralise acid?
by mixing it with base
Can salt be made by mixing a base and acid?
ya sure
When mixing an acid and a base and water are produced.?
The product of this reaction is a salt.
Is the mixing of a weak acid with a strong base an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
exothermic
Can salts be made by mixing water and a base?
No. Mixing a base with water would merely result in a solution of the base in water. Salts will form, however, from most reactions between an acid and a base.

How are the products of neutralization generally produce?
by mixing a base with an acid, producing water and an ionic salt

Is mixing acid with a base a chemical change?
Adding a base to an acid or vice versa in changing the chemical properties of that solution. In both cases you are neuralizing the solution. There might be a physical change as well, but it would depend on what chemicals where mixing. But this reaction will definitely have a chemical change.
What is produced when an acid and a base are mixed?
When an acid and a base are mixed it will give rise to a salt and water. For example HCl reacts with NaOH to give NaCl and H2O. The basic formula for the reaction of an acid and base is: HA + BOH ----> AB + H2O [acid] [base] [salt] [water]
