No, there wouldn't be any measurable effect on the pH of the solution.
The only way to affect the pH of the aqueous solution would be changing its proportion of OH- and "H+". At room temperature the concentration of these two species is 10^-7 mol/l and the product of both concentrations must always be 10^-14 mol²/l² at these conditions.
Consequently a change in the concentration of one of these ions would affect the concentration of the other. This could be achieved by binding either OH- to Na+ or "H+" to Cl-. Binding OH- to Na+ would rise the concentration of "H+" and by this leading to an acidic character of the solution.
Since NaOH is a very strong base and HCl is a very strong acid, both dissolve completely in water to Na+ (aq), OH-, Cl- (aq) and "H+". No chemically bound NaOH or HCl in the solution is observable and no change in the ("H+"/OH-)-ratio occurs. Thus the pH stays the same.

What 2 substances will be formed when hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide?
HCl + NaOH = H2O + NaCl Or, water and table salt--which will dissolve in water. Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, will not be formed; neither of the two starting chemicals contains carbon, and benzoic acid contains a lot of it. - - - - - Benzoic acid and sodium chloride
How do you dissolve ferric ammonium sulphate in water?
first dissolve in sulfuric acid and then add water
What are the products of a reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid?
An acid (HCl) added to an alkali/base (NaOH) forms a salt (NaCl) and water : HCl + NaOH ----> NaCl + H2O
What happens when you mix an acid with a metal oxide?
Generally metal oxides are soluble in acids but this is not mandatory. A metal salt is obtained as a product and hydrogen also.
When sodium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid what three products should be produced?
Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate + Hydrochloric Acid --> Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sodium Chloride NaHCO3 + HCl --> H2O + CO2 + NaCl
What is the term for the product of an acid-base reaction in addition to water?
product of acid and base neutralization would be water and salt(doesnt have to be NaCl) example HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O
What compound does not dissolve in water and caused acid rain?
the answer would have to be carbon dioxide
What substance does dissolve?
Sodium can dissolve. Citric acid can also dissolve into water.
Would an acid or an alkali be formed if an oxide were dissolved in water?
When you dissolve an Oxide (e.g. CO2 or SO2) in water you normally make an acid.
Does palmitic acid dissolve in water?
No, it does not.
Which end of a fatty acid would not dissolve in water?
Not the phosphate side. It's hydrophobic
Which end of the fatty acid would dissolve in water which wouldn't?
The phosphate head would not because it is hydrophobic. the tails would face each other or water.
Is toothpaste desolved in water an acid or alkali?
Roothpaste has to be neutral Ph. If it were an acid or a base, it would eventually dissolve the teeth

Can citric acid not dissolve with water or it will?
Citric acid dissolves in water in an endothermic reaction.
Does a strong acid dissolve in water?
yes
