Obviously one of the species needs to contain chlorine and the other sodium. A classic chemistry laboratory demonstration uses hydrochloric acid (HCl) and, for a base, sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O

HCl is also known as hydrogen chloride or muriatic acid. Sodium hydroxide is the active ingredient in some forms of drain opener. Don't try this at home as the chemicals are nasty and the reaction is quite exothermic (releases energy) and tends to spatter chemicals all over the place.
