Best Answer

to cancel an acid you need to add a base (alkaline) and vice versa.

so for example of this you take vinegar (an acid) and add baking soda (an alkaline) you'll get a chemical reaction releasing gas (in this case CO2) and what your left with is a mixture of water and salt.

Alkalis , Bases, metals and carbonates

They all react with acids to produce a salt, *the acid is neutralised (cancelled).

To "cancel" or neutralize an acid, a base needs to be added to the solution. The type of base needed depends on the type of the acid (weak or strong).
