Best Answer

Calcium Sulfate, CaSO4, is insoluble. Thus, this compound forms a precipitate. Sulfates are usually soluble except when they are reacted with Silver (Ag), Mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), and Barium (Ba). This should help. :)

What id a precipitate?

precipitate means done with very great haste and without due deliberation; separate as a fine suspension of solid particles When two chemicals in solution react to form a compound which is not soluble in water, the insoluble chemical appears as small undissolved particles = a precipitate. Sodium sulphate and calcium nitrate are both soluble forming clear solutions in water. Mix the solutions and they switch around to sodium nitrate (soluble) plus calcium sulphate (insoluble) and you get a milky looking suspension of calcium sulphate which is the precipitate.
