Give two examples for chemical reactions in which precipitate is formed.

Answer»

The reactions in which a substance insoluble in water is formed are called precipitation reactions.

e.g.: 

1) When lead nitrate solution reacts with potassium iodide solution it forms a yellow precipitate of lead iodide. 

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2KI(aq) → PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq)  

2) When sodium sulphate solution reacts with barium chloride solution it forms a white precipitate of barium sulphate. 

Na2SO4(aq) + BaCl2(aq) → BaSO4(s)+ 2NaCl(aq)
