Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In qualitative analysis, what does the term 'precipitation reaction' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand that a precipitation reaction happens in a solution, which is a liquid that contains dissolved substances.
  • Step 2: Know that in this solution, there are different ions (charged particles) present.
  • Step 3: When certain ions in the solution come together, they can react with each other.
  • Step 4: This reaction can cause a new substance to form, which is a solid.
  • Step 5: The solid that forms is called a precipitate, and it separates from the liquid solution.
