Do a demonstration to introduce the concept of a precipitate – formation of a solid from the reaction of two liquids. Remind students that they have seen that mixing certain substances can result in a ...

Scoop a small amount of KI into the water directly opposite the Pb(NO3)2 A precipitate of PbI2 will form near the center of the dish.

The very first cells obtained their energy from geochemical reactions. LMU researchers have now managed to recreate this ...

Since a precipitate is a solid it can be collected by filtering. The precipitate is left behind on the filter paper as residue which can be washed by pouring water over it when it is still in the ...

A simple demonstration of how a precipitate is evidence of a chemical reaction taking place is performed by mixing solutions of calcium chloride and sodium carbonate to form the precipitate calcium ...

Below is an example of a precipitation reaction. Notice the two aqueous solutions make a solid substance. \(AgNO_{3}(aq) + NaCl(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s) + NaNO_{3}(aq)\) If state symbols are not ...
