Check if any of the possible products are insoluble in the solvent you are using. In other words, mix each type of anion with each type of cation and look at the solubility of each combination. If any of these compounds are insoluble, than it will precipitate out.

How can you know this is a chemical reaction?

Evidence of a chemical reaction include the following: formation of a precipitate formation of a gas change in temperature change in color


How do you know if a precipitation reaction has occurred?

precipitate means insoluble. Usually white stuff or something is found that doesn't dissolve in water. If aqueous solution yields a solid it is the precipitate


How do you know when there is No Reaction in a chemical reaction?

Some indicators of a chemical reaction are:- change of color- change of odor- release of a gas- change of the temperature- change of the viscosity- formation of a precipitate- change of general appearance- possible explosion - possible chemiluminescence - formation of new compounds


What is heat of reaction of Diphosphorus Pentasulfide?

If you wanted to, you could ask what the heat of formation is of a given compound such as diphosphorus pentasulfide, but if you want to know about a heat of reaction, you have to specify a reaction. A compound is not a reaction.

What three ways would let you know that a reaction had taken place?

1. Evolution of gas. 2.Formation of precipitate(solid sediment). 3. Change in temprature of reaction vessel


When given the double displacement reaction below which of the products would be soluble in water and which would likely form a solid precipitate How do you know?

You didn't show a reaction. The way you would know is by studying/memorizing or looking up the SOLUBILITY RULES.

For example, adding silver nitrate solution to a solution containing halogen ions: formation of a white insoluble precipitate.


How do you know that a new substance is formed from the reaction?

Some indicators are: - an increase of temperature - release of a gas - change of color - change of odor - formation of a precipitate etc.
