    Combining the two equal solns as you indicated results in a new soln composed of HOH and NaCl - water and salt. Since pH is the log of the hydrogen ion concentration, and there are no free hydrogen ions in this soln, then the measurement = zero free hydrogen ions or 7 on the pH scale which is neutral. This is the theoretical perfect of course, discounting any reaction losses / gains etc.

    It depends on the concentration of HCl.
