How to obtain salt from an acid-base reaction, part 1:
Obtain a solution of the soluble salt we want

-> Place dilute acid in a beaker and heat gently with a Bunsen burner
-> Add the solid base bit by bit until it stops reacting, which means it is in excess
-> Isolate the salt solution by filtering out the excess solid base using filter paper and funnel

How to obtain salt from an acid-base reaction, part 2:
Isolate the soluble salt crystals from solution

-> Heat the salt solution gently in a water bath until crystals start to form
-> Let the solution cool further, which will cause more crystals to precipitate
-> Filter out the soluble salt crystals using filter paper and funnel
