When an acidic solution and a basic solution react together, the resulting solution is always neutral.

Options

Option A

True

Option B is correct

False

Explanation

The reaction between an acid and a base is called neutralization, which produces salt and water. However, the resulting solution is only neutral if the acid and base are of appropriate strengths and taken in suitable amounts. If one is stronger or in greater quantity, the resulting solution can still be acidic or basic.
