Best Answer

A precipitation reaction is usually a double displacement reaction. The ions that do not form the precipitate usually form the solution.

Spectator ions do not "go" anywhere; they stay in the solution as ions.

Under what conditions does a precipitate form in a chemical reaction?

When a precipitate forms, cations and anions in aqueous solutions combine to form an insoluble ionic solid. This is specifically classified as a double replacement reaction and takes the form AB + CD --> AD + CB.


Can the combustion reaction CH4 202---CO2 2H2O be classified as a precipitation reaction?

No. Precipitation is the formation of a solid in a solution during a chemical reaction. When the reaction occurs, the solid formed is called the precipitate, and the liquid remaining above the solid is called the supernate. Obviously CH4 + 2O2 = Co2 + 2H2O - in other words 1 methane + 2 oxygen = 1 Carbon Dioxide + 2 water - Does not form a solid in a solution so can not be a precipitation reaction.


Is formation of a precipitate an indication of a chemical change?

One example is the reaction between the aqueous solutions lead nitrate, Pb(NO3)2 and potassium chloride, KCl. They react to form solid (a precipitate) lead chloride, PbCl2, and aqueous potassium nitrate, KNO3. The balanced equation is Pb(NO3)2(aq) + KCl(aq) ---> PbCl2(s) + KNO3(aq)


When two liquids react to form a solid it is called an?

This is a reaction of precipitation.


How can you tell if a precipitate forms when you mix two solutions?

A precipitate is when two ions that mix together in a solution are then insoluble when they bind together in the solution (ususally water). If a precipitate will form is governed mostly by solubility rules that can be looked up.

What is precipitation reaction reaction?

A precipitation reaction is one in which two solutions react to form an insoluble solid called a precipitate and a precipitate is an insoluble solid which is formed on mixing certain solutions.

What is the reaction for 2-butanol with the lucas reagent?

Since 2-butanol is a secondary alcohol, it will form a cloudy precipitate after approximately 5-6 minutes.


Does a precipitate form when a banana ripens?

The answer is no. There are no substances in bananas, so there is no precipitation.


What do you call insoluble salts that form in a solution?

For example by the reaction of an acid with a metal, the reaction of two salts, etc.


Is precipitation a single displacement reaction?

No. Not every double displacement reaction is a precipitation reaction. If we look at just one reaction, a neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), we'll see this: HCl + NaOH => NaCl + H2O The end products are sodium chloride (NaCl, or table salt) and water (H2O). The salt is soluble in water so it will not precipitate out. There are many, many double displacement reactions, and the ones that will result in a precipitate will be ones where an end product is not soluble.
