Solution

Salt
Salts are substances created by reacting an acid with a base, in which the acid's H ions are replaced by the base's metal ions. The formation of salt from an acid and a base is known as neutralisation.
Example. - Sodium chloride $(NaCl)$
Direct combination
The direct combination method is also known as the Synthesis reaction.
On heating, a metallic element combines with a nonmetallic element to form soluble chlorides or insoluble sulphides salt in the direct combination method.
Ferric chloride $({FeCl}_{3})$ is one of the salt prepared by direct combination.
Chemical reaction
$2 Fe + 3 {Cl}_{2} \to 2 {FeCl}_{3} (Soluble)$
