Answer: a weak acid would be produced

Explanation:

What would happen if a weak base (such as baking soda) was mixed with a weak acid (such as hydrochloric acid)?  its on quizlet

If Baking soda(weak base) and Hydrochloric acid(strong acid) were mixed, the reaction will be

  • [tex]HCl + NaHCO_3 -> NaCl + H_2CO_3[/tex]

But [tex]H_2CO_3[/tex] (carbonic acid ) is very unstable and it will decompose to CO2  and [tex]H_2O[/tex] . Since carbon dioxide is evolved you will see bubbles .

The solution formed will be slightly acidic and the pH will be less than 7
