Answer:

Acids are substances that when dissolved in water release hydrogen ions, H+(aq). ... When dissolved, bases release hydroxide ions, OH-(aq) into solution. Water is the product of an acid and base reacting. Chemists say that the acid and base cancel or neutralise each other, hence the reaction is known as "neutralisation".
