When two solutions of ionic compounds are mixed, they may react to form a solid precipitate if the resulting product is insoluble in water. This occurs when the ions in the two solutions combine to form a new compound that has a low solubility product constant, causing the compound to precipitate out of solution as a solid. Factors such as the nature of the ions and their charges determine if a precipitate will form.

When will an ionic compound precipitate out of solution?

An ionic compound will precipitate out of solution when the concentration of ions exceeds the solubility product constant (Ksp) for that compound. This causes the compound to exceed its solubility limit and form a solid precipitate.


Precipitates can be formed in what kind of reaction?

A precipitate can be a chloride, sulfide, sulfate, phosphate, carbonate etc.


What is the solid with low solubility that sometimes forms when ionic solutions are mixed?

The solid with low solubility that sometimes forms when ionic solutions are mixed is called a precipitate. Precipitates are insoluble compounds that form when the cations and anions in two solutions combine and exceed their solubility product.

How do ionic and molecular compounds differ in physical properties?

Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than molecular compounds due to the strong electrostatic forces between ions. Ionic compounds are usually solid at room temperature, while molecular compounds can be solid, liquid, or gas. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water, while molecular compounds do not.
