Common salt, table salt, sodium chloride, NaCl, whatever you call it is pretty much neutral in solution. This is because the double-replacement acid-base reaction that produces it has HCl and NaOH as reactants, and these are a strong acid and a strong base. Therefore, their "strength," which is a measure of their degree of ionization in solution, is about the same, and will cancel out.

Which substance forms when an acid and a base react?

A chemical salt and water. Here are the general acid reaction equations. Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. The 'Salt' is not just common order garden Table Salt., although that is a salt. , but any chemical that has a metal cation and an acidic anion., .e.g. Calcium Carbonate =CaCO3. or CuSO4. etc.,
