what happens at neutralization point

At neutralization point, an acidic (pH < 7) or basic solution (pH > 7) becomes neutral. The pH of a solution is inversely proportional to the concentration of hydrogen ions present in the solution (pH = -log[H+]. When an alkali solution (containing OH- ions) is added, the following ionic reaction takes place:

H+ + OH- => H2O

Thus increasing the pH. Once all of the H+ ions have reacted with the OH- ions, the solution will be neutral. You can use chemicals that change colour depending on the pH of the solution to tell when the neutral point has been reached (e.g. universal indicator, phenolphthalein, screen methyl green etc)

Neutralization occur when a totally acid reacts with a base, producing salt and water (pH= 7).
The pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The pH indicates the concentration of hydronium ions [H3O+] present in certain substances. The acronym stands for “potential hydrogen”. The pH typically ranges from 0 to 14 in aqueous solution being acidic solutions with pH less than 7 (the exponent value of the concentration is higher, because more protons in the solution), and those with alkaline pH above 7. The pH= 7 indicates neutrality of the solution (where the solvent is water).
