it will disolve
Reactivity depends on into which foreign mixture an acid or base is mixed. The further the difference of pH values between the acid or base and the new system into which the acid or base is added, the greater will be the resultant reactivity.
Calcium carbonate is a base and hydrochloric acid is an acid but their combined pH depends on ther initial concentrations.
because the base cancels the acid out and the acid cancels the base out to make a more neutral solution
A strong acid (1 or 2 pH) A weak base ( 8 or 9 pH) The mixture would still be acidic but not as much.
There's no such thing as a base of an acid! A base is a substance with a pH of 8-14, and an acid is a base with a pH of 0-6. A neutral substance has a pH of 7.

How acid, base , and pH relates
The pH remain unchanged.
pH<7 acid pH=7 neutral pH>7 base
A strong acid (1 or 2 pH) A weak base ( 8 or 9 pH) The mixture would still be acidic but not as much.
Generally, the pH will decrease, depending on the strength of the acid. The stronger the acid is, the more the pH will decrease, when mixed with NaOH.
pH<7 acid pH=7 neutral pH>7 base
This process is called as neutralization of an acid and a base.
If a strong acid is mixed with a weak base, pH=pKa+/-1 in the buffer region.Corrected:If a strong base is mixed with a weak acid pOH= pKb +/-1 ( pH=(14 - pKb)+/-1) in the buffer region[Remember: For one conjugated pair of weak acid (a = HB) AND its weak base (b = B-):pKa + pKb = 14.0andpH + pOH = 14.0
