Answer:
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 3 ) and sodium chloride (NaCl): AgNO 3
(aq)+NaCl(aq)→AgCl(s)↓+NaNO 3 (aq)
The precipitate forms because the solid (AgCl) is insoluble in water.
