If the limiting reagent of a reaction is a base, will the solution be basic or acidic?

(Assuming that you're just talking about neutralisation reactions here.)

If the limiting reagent is the base, i.e. the base is the one that runs out, then the excess reagent is the acid. So consequently your solution will be acidic.
