Just any acid and any base won't necessarily "make anything". Acids and Bases are measured on the pH scale which ranges from 1 to 15, 1 being acidic, and is a non-linear, logarithmic scale meaning it covers a very wide range.
If you take an acid, and neutralize it with a base, you and up with a pH of 7, which is neural and nether acidic or basic. Pure water is neutral and thus has a pH of exactly 7.
That being said, even though you have an acid and base cancel out or become neutral, the two components used most certainly cause a reaction during the process, usually exothermic meanig heat is produced.
Also, ions are involved and it's possible to have something acidic suddenly turn basic with a very small amount of base added as the process is typically highly non-linear. The details are complex and beyond the scope of this question.
What you would end up with depends on what acid and base you combine, but you could still end up with some compound, that has a neutral Ph and is neither acidic nor basic.
An easy experiment is to use acetic acid (ordinary vinegar), and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in water creating a base. When combined, a reaction does occur and carbon dioxide is released usually vigorously, like pouring warm soda into a cup.
With the right ratio of vineger and bicarb, you could have one neutralize the other and become well, neutral in pH.

What is formed when an acid is neutralized by a hydroxide?
When an acid is neutralized by a hydroxide, water and a salt are formed. This reaction is known as a neutralization reaction.
When you combine and acid an base what is formed?
When an acid and a base are combined, they react to form water and a salt. This reaction is known as neutralization, where the acidic properties of the acid and the basic properties of the base are neutralized by each other.
What is the pH level of water when it is neutralized by an acid or a base?
When water is neutralized by an acid or a base, the pH level of the water becomes 7, which is considered neutral.
How can a weak acid be neutralized effectively?
A weak acid can be neutralized effectively by adding a strong base to it. The strong base will react with the weak acid to form water and a salt, which will result in the neutralization of the acid.
What is formed when sodium hydroxide is neutralized by hydrochloric acid?
When sodium hydroxide is neutralized by hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride (table salt) and water are formed. This reaction is an example of a neutralization reaction where an acid and a base react to form a salt and water.
What is formed when an acid is neutralized by a hydroxide?
When an acid is neutralized by a hydroxide, water and a salt are formed. This reaction is known as a neutralization reaction.
Can an acid be neutralized with a base?
if you dilute the acid

How is acid and neutralization connected?
Acid is neutralized when it is added to an equal amount of base.
What kind of substance is formed when an acid is mixed with a base?
The combination of an acid and a base will result in the production of a salt and sometimes, water (requires a hydroxide (OH-) base and an acid that will make hydrogen (H+) ions). This is called a neutralization reaction.
What salt is formed with calcium hydroxide neutralized by hydrochloric acid?
The salt formed is calcium chloride (CaCl2) when calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) is neutralized by hydrochloric acid (HCl).
What is formed when potassium hydroxide is neutralized by sulfuric acid?
Potassium Sulfate and water
What is an acid neutralized by?
An Acid is neutralised by a Base , Alkali or Carboinate. Remember the general equations. Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
Which two products are formed when an acid is neutralized?
Alright so the previous guys answer was like SO bull crap so im editing it (he put like Hydrosulfuric Acid or something) it creates Water and a Salt (not necessarily table salt)
