Best Answer

When a strong acid and a strong base is combined, it neutralizes each other. During neutralization, a new "neutral" substance and water is produced. The "neutral" substance will be either acidic or basic in a very weak manner. Since one is always stronger than the other by a small factor, the substance will always get either H3O+ or OH- in a small quantity in the "neutral" substance. This quantity is so small, it does not affect the pH and it usually ends up at 7 after successful neutralization.
