pl help fast!!!

Answer 1

Precipitation is the creation of a solid from a solution. When the reaction occurs in a liquid solution, the solid formed is called the 'precipitate'. The chemical that causes the solid to form is called the 'precipitant'.

Answer 2

In chemistry, a precipitate is an insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution . The emergence of the insoluble solid from solution is called precipitation. Often the precipitate emerges as a suspension .

Precipitates can form when two soluble salts react in solution to form one or more insoluble products.

soluble salt 1 + soluble salt 2 → insoluble salt (precipitate)
