An acid and base always react to form a salt and water, and it is called neutralization.

Explanation:

The salt formed in this reaction is sodium chloride, $NaCl$ $"NaCl"$ . The equation for the reaction is:

$NaOH (a q) + HCl (a q) \to NaCl (a q) + H_{2} O (l)$ $"NaOH"(aq) + "HCl"(aq) -> "NaCl"(aq) + "H"_2"O"(l)$

The numbers of $Na$ $"Na"$ , $O$ $"O"$ , $H$ $"H"$ , and $Cl$ $"Cl"$ atoms on the left and the right sides are as such equal.
