Question

What do you mean by a precipitation reaction? Explain by giving examples.
can someone answer?​

Answer 1

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. ... Iron salt and water are produced.

Answer 2

Explanation:

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.

A common example is that of the mixing of two clear solutions: Silver nitrate (AgNO

) and sodium chloride (NaCl):

AgNO

(aq)+NaCl(aq)→AgCl(s)↓+NaNO

(aq)

The precipitate forms because the solid (AgCl) is insoluble in water.
