Question

What do u mean by precipitation reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

"Precipitation reaction is a chemical reaction occurring in an aqueous solution where two ionic bonds combine, resulting in the formation of an insoluble salt which are called precipitates.

Precipitation reactions occur when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic solid called a precipitate.

A precipitate is a solid that forms out of solution.

Example:

The precipitate Silver Chloride is formed when Aqueous silver nitrate (AgNO3) is added to a solution containing potassium chloride (KCl).

AgNO3(aqueous) + KCl(aqueous) —–AgCl(precipitate) + KNO3(aqueous)"

Answer 2

A precipitation reaction refers to the formation of an insoluble salt when two solutions containing soluble salts are combined. The insoluble salt that falls out of solution is known as the precipitate, hence the reaction's name
