For neutralization

The general formula is acid + base #rarr# salt and water

Example: HCl + NaOH #rarr# NaCl + #H_2O#

HCl is hydrochloric acid

NaOH is sodium hydroxide which is a base

They both react to form NaCl which is sodium chloride, a salt and #H_2O# , which is water.

Now the solution is neutralized, not acidic neither basic
