The process of neutralization often involves the substances heating up when they come together. If the solution heats up too much or too fast, a violent explosion or the creation of harmful or flammable gases is a possibility. This occurs when the chemicals are mixed too quickly, the acid and base are too strong or if there is no available salt to be made in the solution.</span>
