    Yes

    Explanation:

    To complete the neutralization, the moles of the acid have to be the same as the moles of the base. We use the equation (m*w) = number of moles of a substance, where m is the molar mass and w the weitgh in grams. So the moles of acid are (2500*63.01) = 157525, and the moles of base are (2000*105.988) = 211977. So the base neutralizes all the acid.
