Neutralization rEACTION of Acids and bases
When mixing an acid and a base, both solutions become neutral. This means that the pH level of a neutralization reaction is equal to 7. During the neutralization of acids and bases, the reaction produces salt and water.

nEUTRALIZATION OF aCIDS
Acids can be neutralized four different ways. In all methods of acid neutralization, it produces salt.
- Acid + base ---> salt + water
- Acid + alkali ---> salt + water
- Acid + metal ---> salt + hydrogen gas (H2)
- Acid + carbonate (CO3)--- > salt + water + carbon dioxide (CO2)
