Answer:

A neutralization reaction between an acid and a base will produce a salt and water. In a neutralization reaction, the acid will produce H+ ions that react to neutralize the OH- ions produced by the base, forming neutral water. ... A weak acid + a strong base in an acid/base neutralization reaction will form a basic salt.
