It expected the salts' pH to be neutral, but it turned out to be basic, ranging from 12 to 13. This could have been due to the wrong amount of each substance being mixed. So the two substances can react completely; they have to be neutralized. For a reaction to be neutral, the substances must have a specific amount of each when mixed because they have different concentrations of moles per gram, and to be neutral, they must have the same quantity of moles. This is not the case for this experiment because we calculated the millimetres needed for the acids to react completely with the bases. Nevertheless, even when adding the correct amounts, no reaction was seen.
