Why is the reaction between an acid and a base called a neutralization reaction?

Actually, It's a condensation reaction. But the reason it is refered to as neutralizing is because the acid is no longer acidic, and the base is no long caustic. The result is a salt and water. Nothing there can really cause any damage.
The "loose" H+ atoms of the acid break away as do the OH- anion which then combine to make H20. Yay! water!

The reaction between an acid and a base is called?
the name of this reaction is often used as neutrilization reaction.because when acid and base reacts they loss there acidity and basicity and form water and salt.che05_e@yahoo.com
What is the reaction between an acid and an alkali is called?
Neutralization is the reaction between an acid and an alkali. Neutralization usually results in the formation of a salt from the reaction.
What is the reaction called when acids and bases come together?
neutralization (they cancel each other out) or Double replacement (both produce different substances)
What is neutralization in chemistry?
The neutralization point is at pH=7,00.
In what reaction an acid and a base produce a salt and a water?
Called an 'acid base' reaction or a 'proton transfer' reaction.Only when a precipitate (of an insoluble salt) is formed, it is called a 'salt formation' reaction.
