It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
The mixing of a weak acid with a strong base is generally exothermic. The reaction generates heat as the acid and base neutralize each other.
If they are mixed so that they neutralize each other the solution is acidic.
When a weak acid and a strong base combine, the resulting solution will be basic because the strong base will completely neutralize the weak acid. The pH of the solution will be higher than 7.
Let's see. NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O The usual salt ( NaCl ) 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.

When a weak acid and a strong base combine, the resulting solution will be basic because the strong base will completely neutralize the weak acid. The pH of the solution will be higher than 7.
How about the ever faithful hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide: HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H20. Strong Acid + Strong Base = Salt & Water
Let's see. NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O The usual salt ( NaCl ) 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.
by mixing it with base
It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
It usually depends on the strenght of the acid and base mixed. If you have a weak acid and a strong based mixed, you have neutralization reaction, in which H+ in acid is being neutralized by OH- in the base. Mixing a weak base and a strong acid does opposite, OH- is nutralized by H+. Usually these reactions are not complete and you have an equilibrium reactions. If both an acid and a base a strong you have a complete reaction in which water and salt are formed.
When mixing a strong base with a weak acid, the strong base will completely neutralize the weak acid, resulting in the formation of water and a salt. The pH of the solution will be higher than 7 due to the remaining excess of hydroxide ions from the base.
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
