Question 15:
What do you mean by a precipitation reaction? Explain by giving examples.
A reaction in which an insoluble solid (called precipitate) is formed is called a precipitation reaction.
For example:
In this reaction, calcium carbonate is obtained as a precipitate. Hence, it is a precipitation reaction.
Another example of precipitation reaction is:
In this reaction, barium sulphate is obtained as a precipitate.
