Question

Precipitation reactions produce insoluble salts.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Precipitation reaction: A precipitation reaction produces an insoluble solid as a result of the reaction of two dissolved chemicals in a solution.

• Precipitation reaction produces insoluble ionic salt.
• Lead carbonate(PbCO₃), Lead sulfate (PbSO₄), and Lead chloride(PbCl₄) are examples of precipitation salt.
• Precipitation can occur when solutions containing ionic compounds are mixed and an insoluble product is formed.
• $\underset{\mathrm{Silver}\mathrm{nitrate}}{{\mathrm{AgNO}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Potessium}\mathrm{chloride}}{\mathrm{KCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Silver}\mathrm{Chloride}}{\mathrm{AgCl}\left(\mathrm{precipitate}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{potassium}\mathrm{nitrate}}{\mathrm{KN}{\mathrm{O}}_3(\mathrm{aq})}$

Thus, the given statement is true. Precipitation reactions produce insoluble salts.
