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.
Evidence of a chemical reaction include the following: formation of a precipitate formation of a gas change in temperature change in color
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
A precipitate is a solid that is formed when mixing two solutions. The dissolved ions or molecules from the two solutions mix and form a new compound which is no longer soluble, and so a solid forms. The identity and composition of the solid depends completely on what two solutions have been mixed together. Without knowing what is being mixed, you cannot know what the composition of the precipitate is.
You didn't show a reaction. The way you would know is by studying/memorizing or looking up the SOLUBILITY RULES.

A precipitation reaction occurs when two aqueous ionic compounds react to form an insoluble solid called a precipitate. You can detect a precipitation reaction by observing the formation of a cloudy or milky solution, or by the appearance of a solid at the bottom of the reaction vessel.

For example, adding silver nitrate solution to a solution containing halogen ions: formation of a white insoluble precipitate.
The reaction is: AgNO3 + KCl = AgCl + KNO3The precipitate is silver chloride.
Some indicators are: - an increase of temperature - release of a gas - change of color - change of odor - formation of a precipitate etc.
substitution
Ok, lets begin by writing out the reaction : 2AgNO3 +CaCl2 --> 2AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2 Precipitate = AgCl Now find the mol of compound in each solution: 14g AgNO3 x (mol/170g) = .082mol 4.83g CaCl2 x (mol/111g) = .044mol Determine limiting reactant: Notice in reaction that 2 CaCl2 molecules react with 1 AgNO3. Because 2(.044mol) > 1(.082mol), AgNO3 is your limiting reactant. Now that you know this you can find the mass of the precipitate .082molAgNO3x (2molAgCl/2molAgNO3)x(143.3g/molAgCl) = 11.75g b) Assuming all the AgNO3 is exhausted, there will be 2(.044)-(.082) = .006mol CaCl2 left .006mol x (111g/mol) = 0.67g CaCl2
Three signs of a chemical reaction include the release or absorption of heat, a change in color, and the creation of a gas or a precipitate.
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.
