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?

No, for a precipitate to form, at least one product must be insoluble in the solution. When two soluble reactants combine, they can form an insoluble product known as a precipitate, which will then separate out of the solution.

How do you precipitate soluble complex?

Add salt to the solution. Change the temperature of the solution. Let the solvent evaporate in increase the concentration of the soluble complex. Change the pH of the solution.

Lactose is a monosachcharide.They are soluble in water.


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.


Why does copper sulfate and hydrochloric acid produce no precipitate?

When copper sulfate (CuSO4) is mixed with hydrochloric acid (HCl), no precipitate is formed because both substances are soluble in water. When they react, they form a clear, colorless solution containing copper chloride and sulfuric acid. Since these products are also soluble in water, no solid precipitate is formed.


Is it true that nitrates are almost always soluble and do not form a precipitate?

Yes, it is true.


Which anion will not precipitate silver ion?

Chloride ion (Cl-) will not precipitate silver ion (Ag+) because silver chloride (AgCl) is insoluble and will not form a precipitate.


Is iron chloride a precipitate?

Iron chloride is actually a soluble compound. When added to water, it dissociates into its ions (Fe3+ and Cl-) and remains dissolved in the solution. It does not form a solid precipitate.
