Best Answer

Combing an acid and a base produces a salt and water.

Here are the general acid equations.

Acid + Base = Salt + Water

Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water

Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen

Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide.

NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.

Water and Salt if you are using hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.

HCl+NaOH-->H2O+NaCl

These are the most common strong acid and strong base.

All strong acid/base reactions will lead to a double displacement reaction.

Weak acids(carbonic acid, etc.) and weak bases(ammonia) will not fully ionize and will normally create a non-neutral(pH that is not 7) substance.
