Best Answer

When an acid and base mix, the acid dissociates into hydronium ions (H+) and its conjugate base (for example HCl would dissociate into H+ and Cl-). Likewise, the base dissociates (for example NaOH dissociates into Na+ and OH-). These reactants then recombine to form water and a salt of the acid (H2O and NaCl).

There are different types of acid-base reactions that produce different products. An acid reacting with a carbonate or bicarbonate would make a salt, CO2 and H2O for example. Or if an acid were to react with a metal, Mg for example, a salt and hydrogen gas would result.

In most acid-base reactions, you will end up with a salt of the acid and one or more of the following: a gas (usually H2 or CO2), and/or water.
