Salt is formed from sodium and chlorine. At this point one would normally expect to see, "reacting sodium metal with chlorine will produce salt" or "reacting sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid then boiling off the water will produce salt."

Any reaction that will produce salt is very expensive and very dangerous, and salt from natural sources is extremely cheap - any supermarket has it for less than $1 per pound. If you need salt, it's safer and less expensive to buy it than to make it.
