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 ...

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 ...
