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.

What does mixing in acid with a base give you?
When mixing an acid and a base you will get a salt and water solution (But this is not the normal water that you would drink or, the normal salt you would put on your chips) . Here is the word equation; acid+ base= salt+ water.
Is the mixing of a weak acid with a strong base an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
exothermic
What does a acid and a base make?
Its simple, an acid + a base = salt Usually there is a fair amount of heat as well. Depending on the molecules in question, there may be gas produced, such as when mixing vinegar and baking soda (which are an acid and base).
Is the mixing of an acid and a base is called precipitation?
No, it is called neutralization or titration.
Why should acids and bases be handled carefully?
the process of dissolving an acid or a base in water is a highly exothermic one. care must be taken while mixing concentrated nitric acid or sulphuric acid with water. the acid must be added slowly to water with contant stirring.
How do you neutralise acid?
by mixing it with base

Can salt be made by mixing a base and acid?
ya sure
When mixing an acid and a base and water are produced.?
The product of this reaction is a salt.
Is the mixing of a weak acid with a strong base an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
exothermic
Can salts be made by mixing water and a base?
No. Mixing a base with water would merely result in a solution of the base in water. Salts will form, however, from most reactions between an acid and a base.

What happens when mixing a strong acid with a strong base?
It becomes a neutral eg; acid plus base equals salt(product made) plus hydrogen gas.
How are the products of neutralization generally produce?
by mixing a base with an acid, producing water and an ionic salt
When an acid reacts with a base the process is called?
This process is called neutralization.
