When an acidic solution is mixed with a basic solution in appropriate amounts, the resulting solution is generally:
Options
Option A
Strongly acidic
Option B
Strongly basic
Option C is correct
Neutral
Option D
A different color but still acidic
Explanation
This process is known as neutralization. When an acid reacts with a base, they neutralize each other's effects, and the products formed are salt and water. If the acidic and basic solutions are mixed in appropriate amounts, the resulting solution will be neutral, meaning it is neither acidic nor basic.
