Bases neutralize acids (and acids neutralize bases).

Explanation:

This is one of the most fundamental chemical reactions. It applies to organic acids as well as inorganic ones. Many therapeutic organic compounds (drugs) are the resultant salt of an organic acid neutralization by an inorganic base.

Organic acids are "weak" acids compared to the inorganic acids.
