The process you describe applies to making of any salt (in general)!

Salts are made by mixing an acid with either a base or a metal.

Once mixed, those two produce another compound - a salt. Notice it is a new compound which is in EVERY respect different from compounds originaly used to get a salt as an end product.

The most important difference being the availability of an H ion in acid - this gives lower pH (potential of hydrogen) which makes it an acid and gives it that acidic taste.

Salts are neutral and don't have the free H ion. Therefore their pH is not as low (pH scale is inverse logarithmic scale - meaning the lower the number the higher the activity of the H ion).

Hopefully this explains it.
