A salt is formed when a cation (positive ion) of an acid forms a compound with the anion (negative ion) of a base. The neutralization of a strong acid and a strong base results in a solution with a pH of 7 (neutral pH).
In chemistry, neutralization or neutralisation, is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In a reaction in water, neutralization results in there being no excess of hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution. The pH of the neutralized solution depends on the acid strength of the reactants. Neutralization is used in many applications.
