Hi,
An acid has PH lower than 7 (smaller value for PH means that the solution is more acid).   Neutralization means increasing the PH and bring it to 7 (that's the PH of water).  
Best regards,

A chemical change takes place when an acid reacts with a base. Depending on the pH strength of the acid or base, neutralization may occur. If a base neutralizes an acid, there is no longer an acid or a base in solution and the solution would, therefore, lose its acid or basic properties. A neutral solution has a pH value of 7.

Okay, folks, we're into ionic chemistry. 

1.  Learn the rules of stochiometry.

2.  Learn a bit of quantum theory. 

Onward.  Let's presume you have two solutions: 1 mol HCl, and 1 mol NaOH.

Both ions dissociate in H/2\O forming:

H+ -- HOH -- Cl-  The other solution is Na+ -- HOH --OH-

So far, so good.  Now, it becomes a bit counterintuitive.

H+ -- HOH -- OH- = 2 H/2\O

Na+ -- Cl- = NaCl

Now, we have a stable salt, and water.  Does that make sense?

Even light will bend to do our bidding if we apply force correctly. The lowest servant in Heaven is still in Heaven, whoever rules in hell is still in hell, but they won't rule for long. No man stands taller than when he stoops to help a little child.
