Answer:

neutralize one another and produce salts

Step-by-step explanation:

When mixed, acids and bases neutralize one another and produce salts, substances with a salty taste and none of the characteristic properties of either acids or bases.

Answer:

When an acid reacts with a base, they undergo neutralization and their opposite pH levels cancel each other out. This happens through the double displacement of ions or, put simply, the ions switch partners.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt. The H(+) cation of the acid combines with the OH(-) anion of the base to form water. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt.

An example of neutralization reaction is: HCL + NaOH ⇆ NaCl +

acid + base ⟶ water + salt.

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ⟶ H 2O(ℓ) + KCl(aq)

2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH) 2(aq) ⟶ 2 H 2O(ℓ) + MgCl 2(aq)

HCl(aq) + NH3(aq) ⟶ NH4Cl(aq)
