Question

What is the main reason for the formation of precipitate or Why some compounds does not give precipitate? [Physical Chemistry]

Answer 1

Explanation:

Well the reaction undergoing inside a liquid is known as precipitate.

This happens when two ions bond in an insoluble salt.

Answer 2

Explanation:

When the reaction occurs in a liquid solution, the solid formed is called the 'precipitate'. The chemical that causes the solid to form is called the 'precipitant'. Without sufficient force of gravity (settling) to bring the solid particles together, the precipitate remains in suspension.
