Final answer:

Neutralization is the reaction of an acid and a base to produce a salt and water. The resulting mixture may not always be neutral in pH.


Explanation:

Neutralization is the reaction between an acid and a base to produce a salt and water. When an acid and a base neutralize each other, the resulting mixture may not be neutral in pH.

For example, in the neutralization reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, the balanced chemical equation is:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
