Answer : The resulting solution will have a pH of 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever acid and base reacts with each other to form water molecule is called Neutralization reaction. This water molecules is formed from the hydronium ion (
H^+) from acid and hydroxide ion(
OH^-) from base.

When the equal volumes of acid and base of equal strength are combined, the resulting pH of the solution becomes 7.

The pH 7 value means that the solution is neutral.
