Neutralizing an acid is a chemical change. In this process, an acid reacts with a base to produce water and a salt. This reaction results in the formation of different substances (the salt and water), and the original acid and base lose their chemical identities. Since the properties of the substances change and new substances are formed, it's classified as a chemical change rather than a physical change.
