#21: Synthesizing Salt (Part 2)

In my last experiment, I created a salt solution by combining hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. Out of curiosity, I decided to let the solution evaporate with the hope that crystals would form. Sure enough, after a few days, they did.

After filtering the solution and letting it evaporate on a paper plate, it formed beautiful crystals of table salt.
