Question

The insoluble substance formed during a chemical reaction is known as a precipitate.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• The process of one or more substances (reactants) combined and forming other substances (products) is called a chemical reaction. That product is either in a solid, liquid, or gas state.
• In some reactions, insoluble substances are formed. That is called a precipitate.
• It is denoted by a downward arrow (↓).
• For example: ${\mathrm{AgNO}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+\mathrm{KCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\to \mathrm{AgCl}(\downarrow )+{\mathrm{KNO}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)$
• In the above reaction, $\mathrm{AgCl}$ is the formed precipitate.

Hence, the given statement is True.
