Question

Example of a reaction in which change of state and formation of precipitate occur simultaneously

Open in App
Solution

  • One important class of chemical reactions is precipitation reactions. In such reactions, two different soluble salts (which are in aqueous solutions) combine to form two products.
  • One of these products is insoluble in the solution and is precipitated out (and is, therefore, referred to as the 'precipitate').
  • The example of precipitate reaction is as follows:
  • An aqueous solution of potassium chloride KCl reacts with silver nitrate AgNO3 solution an insoluble AgCl forms as a white substance.
  • The chemical equation for the reaction is:

KCl(aq)+AgNO3(aq)AgCl(s)+KNO3(aq)
