When producing a soluble salt in a reaction between an acid and an alkali, how can you prepare dry solid crystals from the solutions

1)evaporation/crystallization
2)filtration
3)condensation
4)nuetralisation

Step-by-step explanation:

Making a salt from an alkali

If you are using an alkali - which is a soluble base - then you need to add just enough acid to make a neutral solution (check a small sample with universal indicator paper).

Warm the salt solution to evaporate the water. You get larger crystals if you evaporate the water slowly.
