Question

What do you observe when precipitate are formed?

Answer 1

Answer:

Precipitates are insoluble ionic solid products of a reaction, formed when certain cations and anions combine in an aqueous solution. ... The solids produced in precipitate reactions are crystalline solids, and can be suspended throughout the liquid or fall to the bottom of the solution.

Answer 2

Answer:-

When two aqueous solutions react, they sometimes form solids in the solution. The solid is called a precipitate. Precipitation reactions occur when the cations of one reactant and the anions of a second reactant found in aqueous solutions combine to form an insoluble ionic solid that we call a precipitate.

Some Additional Information about Precipitate:-

• 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.

• If an action is precipitate, it is done sooner or faster than expected and without enough thought or preparation.
