Answer:
when two reactants in solution react and one or more of the products is insoluble or forms a precipitate, the reaction is called a precipitation reaction. for example, when a solution of iron chloride and ammonium hydroxide are mixed, a brown precipitate of iron hydroxide is formed.

Answer:
Explanation:
Hey there!
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)
I hope it helps..! :)
