Neutralization is a type of reaction between an acid and a base.
Lewis theory defines a "Lewis acid" as an electron-pair acceptor and a "Lewis base" as an electron-pair donor.
Later on, Brønsted and Lowry defined an acid to be a proton donor and a base to be a proton acceptor.

Acids, bases, and the products of their reactions are vital to many life processes and are valuable to industry.
More from Britannica on "Acid-base reaction (from chemical reaction)"...
any of a class of organic chemical reactions in which a pair of atoms or groups of atoms are removed from a molecule, usually through the action of acids, bases, or metals and, in some cases, by heating to a high temperature.

 Acids and Bases
Thus, during the course of the reaction in Figure 1.8, the acid (hydrogen chloride) is converted to its conjugate base (chloride ion), while the base (methanol) is converted to its conjugate acid (methyloxonium ion).
an acid is a hydrogen ion donor; a base is a hydrogen ion acceptor.
Thus, for a strong acid such as hydrogen chloride (or hydrochloric acid), the conjugate base (chloride anion) is weak, while for a weak acid such as water, the conjugate base (hydroxide anion) is strong.

 Acids & Bases
Under the Brønsted-Lowry definition, both acids and bases are related to the concentration of hydrogen ions present.  Acids increase the concentration of hydrogen ions, while bases decrease the concentration of hydrogen ions (by accepting them).  The acidity or basicity of something therefore can be measured by its hydrogen ion concentration.
Acids taste sour, are corrosive to metals, change litmus (a dye extracted from lichens) red, and become less acidic when mixed with bases.
While Boyle and others tried to explain why acids and bases behave the way they do, the first reasonable definition of acids and bases would not be proposed until 200 years later.

 Chemical Reactivity
The relative strength of a group of acids (or bases) may be evaluated by measuring the extent of reaction that each group member undergoes with a common base (or acid).
In its Brønsted acid role the carbocation donates a proton to the base (hydroxide anion), and is converted to a stable neutral molecule having a carbon-carbon double bond.
According to the Brønsted theory, an acid is a proton donor, and a base is a proton acceptor.

For weak acids the dissociation reaction does not go to completion, an equlibrium is set up between the ions and the acid.
It is assumed that for strong acids, the dissociation reaction goes to completion (i.e., no unreacted acid remains in solution).
Water is a very weak acid and in general it supplies far fewer than the acid dissolved in it.

 Early Acid Base History
What Davy means by base in the last sentence is that hydrogen confers the generic proper of acid, he does not mean a base in the modern sense of the word.
From the Latin, it means "acid maker." This idea turned out to be wrong, but it is historically important since it is the first systematic attempt to chemically characterize acids and bases.
However, it was not until more modern times that the chemical nature of acids and bases began to be explored.

of the acid at the given temperature (which is easily attainable information) you can determine the concentration of hydrogen ions, which will allow the determination of the pH after taking into account the neutralization due to the base.
While strong acids dissociate practically completely in solution and consequently have large acidity constants, weak acids do not fully dissociate and generally have acidity constants far less than 1.
The acidity constant for the acid HA is the dissociation constant for this equilibrium.

From the perspective of Molecular Orbital theory, an acid-base reaction is the combination of HOMO from base and LUMO from acid to form a stable bonding molecular orbital.
An acid-base reaction is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base.
In general, an acid reacts with a base by forming a new covalent bond utilizing an empty orbital of the acid to share the extra electron pair of the base.
