It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
you get an acid.
exothermic
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.
Let's see. NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O The usual salt ( NaCl ) and water.
It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.

How about the ever faithful hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide: HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H20. Strong Acid + Strong Base = Salt & Water
Let's see. NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O The usual salt ( NaCl ) and water.
It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
by mixing it with 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.
Sodium hydroxide (strong base) and Sulphuric acid (strong acid)
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
If they are mixed so that they neutralize each other the solution is acidic.
