It's very simple really, take an acid like HCl and combine it with a carbonate like, say Na2CO3 it should produce the following

2HCl+Na2CO3 -> H2O+2NaCl+CO2

in other words you will get a salt, water, and a gas, if that gas is Carbon dioxide it means you did everything right. Hope that answers your question.
