There is a complicated answer and a sensible answer. Both arrive at the same answer. But here is the logic for the sensible--I will let you decide.
A STRONG base and a WEAK acid will give a salt that is ??????
A STRONG base and a STRONG acid will give a salt that is neutral.
A WEAK base and a WEAK acid will give a salt that is neutral (if the base and acid are equally weak).
A WEAK base and a STRONG acid will give a salt that is acid.
