Try mixing vinegar and baking soda. What happens?
The easiest way to make many of the simpler chemicals in the recipe is by doing a titration with a strong acid and strong base. For example, if you need to make calcium nitrate, you should mix calcium hydroxide and nitric acid. When mixing the nitric acid and calcium hydroxide, first put some deionized water in a beaker or flask. You must use deionized water because tap water usually contains ions that can mess up the reaction.
acid + base yields a salt and water.
