Flexi Says: According to the conceptual definition of the Arrhenius acid and base, the acid will produce the H+ ion, which will react to neutralize the OH− ion produced by the base to produce the neutral water. The other product will be the ionic salt. A strong acid + a strong base in an acid/base neutralization reaction will form a neutral salt. A strong acid + a weak base in an acid/base neutralization reaction will form an acidic salt. A weak acid + a strong base in an acid/base neutralization reaction will form a basic salt.
