  • What are the steps of making salt?
    • Heat the acid in a beaker and add the base until no more reacts. You will see bits of the base at the bottom of the beaker.
    • Filter the reaction mixture to separate the unreacted base
    • Put the solution in an evaporation basin and heat over a water bath until about a third is left. You can then leave the evaporating dish to cool down - Crystals will form.
