By definition, a precipitate is not water soluble. It precipitates out of solution from its constituent ions by way of a double-replacement reaction.
Example: 3NaOH(aq) + FeCl3(aq) --> 3NaCl(aq) + Fe(OH)3(s)
The iron(III) hydroxide is the precipitate.

For a precipitate to form do both products have to be soluble?
Yes, the reactants must be soluble.
What is the rule used to predict the precipitate?
Whatever the precipitate is, it's not water-soluble. It's best to refer to a solubility table for this, but some general rules are: all nitrates are soluble, most chlorides and sulfates are soluble, few carbonates and hydroxides are soluble.
What is difference between a substance that is solube in water and one that is insolube in water?
There is no such thing as a soluble precipitate A precipitate a solid that is formed in a chemical reaction, therefor only a insoluble precipitate can occur, and the soluble would remain as a soluble solution. The difference between a soluble and insoluble precipitate is that a insoluble precipitate is incapable of dissolving in a liquid, and a solid is formed in the reaction, where as the soluble substance will dissolve in the liquid.
What are ionic compounds called when they don't form precipitate?
Soluble
Does ammonium nitrate precipitate out?
No. Ammonium nitrate is water soluble.
Which anion will not precipitate silver ion?
Silver Nitrate is soluble.
What precipitate will be formed when sodium acetate will be added with hydrochloric acid?
There shouldn't be any precipitate. Metathesis between those reactants gives sodium chloride (soluble) and acetic acid (also soluble).
Will a precipitate form if solutions of the soluble salts AgNO3 and KI are mixed?
Yes, AgI is insoluble, therefore will form a precipitate.
Will a precipitate form if solutions of the soluble salts AgNO3 and NaOH are mixed?
Yes. Silver hydroxide (AgOH) will precipitate out of solution.
What happened when soluble carbonate is passed through soluble calcium salt?
the precipitate calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is formed
Is iron chloride a precipitate?
No both iron chlorides are water soluble.
When lactose is mixed with water do you get precipitate?
Lactose is a monosachcharide.They are soluble in water.
