When we have a neutralization reaction, the pH of the resulting solution will be neutral if the acid and base react completely.

They do not tell us the concentration of each reactant, so it is assumed that the salt will form when there is a complete reaction, so the salt will have a neutral pH equal to 7

Answer: 7.0
