What do each of the four types of neutralization reactions produce?

All produce a salt, and some produce H2O:
strong acid-strong base – results in a neutral solution with H2O, due to a strong base having OH-.
strong acid-weak base – results in an acidic solution
weak acid-strong base – results in a basic solution with H2O, due to a strong base having OH-.
weak acid-weak base – resulting solution varies in pH, depending on strength of reactants.

Am I missing anything else?
