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.
When an acid is neutralized by a hydroxide, water and a salt are formed. This reaction is known as a neutralization reaction.
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.
When water is neutralized by an acid or a base, the pH level of the water becomes 7, which is considered neutral.
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.
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.

if you dilute the acid

Acid is neutralized when it is added to an equal amount of 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.
The salt formed is calcium chloride (CaCl2) when calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) is neutralized by hydrochloric acid (HCl).
Potassium Sulfate and water
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.
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)
