the reaction which takes place when an acid reacts with a base is called neutralization reaction. For instance,if HCl reacts with NaOH, the products are
NaCl and water. Neutralizing an acid with a base would always give salt and water as the only products.
When a strong base reacts with a weak acid, the base will completely neutralize the acid, forming water and a salt as the products of the reaction. This process is known as a neutralization reaction.
Fundamentally: acid + base --> a salt + water However, other acid base reactions exist: ex. acid + base --> conjugate base (loses a H) + conjugate acid (gains a H)
a base is represented by OH- and an acid is H+ and so when these two are mixed you get H2O so water and salts sometimes
When an acid of low pH is combined with a base of high pH in a test tube, a neutralization reaction will occur. The acid will donate a proton (H+) to the base, forming water and a salt. The resulting solution will have a pH closer to neutral.
Salt and water are formed NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O
Salt
A base will react with an acid.
Ammonia NH3 behaves as a base when it reacts with an acid because it accepts a proton and becomes NH4+.
when a base is mixed with an acidic solution why does neutralization occurs?
An acid-base reaction is neutralisation. The products are a neutral salt and water.
When a strong base reacts with a weak acid, the base will completely neutralize the acid, forming water and a salt as the products of the reaction. This process is known as a neutralization reaction.

It's really neither cuz it reacts with an acid and a base but i would probably say.... Acid
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.

Acid + Base -> Salt + Water
When an acid reacts with a base, the products formed are water and a salt. The hydrogen ion (H+) from the acid combines with the hydroxide ion (OH-) from the base to form water (H2O), while the remaining ions combine to form a salt.
