Solution

A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt. The neutralization of a strong acid and strong base has a pH equal to 7. The neutralization of a strong acid and weak base will have a pH of less than 7, and conversely, the resulting pH when a strong base neutralizes a weak acid will be greater than 7.When a solution is neutralized, it means that salts are formed from equal weights of acid and base.
