Whats the difference between effervescence and precipitate |
|
Answer» Explanation: Precipitation is the creation of a solid from a solution. When the reaction occurs in a liquid solution, the solid formed is called the 'precipitate'. The chemical that CAUSES the solid to form is called the 'precipitant'. ... The precipitate-free liquid remaining above the solid is called the 'supernate' or 'supernatant'.Effervescence is foaming or fizzing that RESULTS from a gas being evolved from a solid or liquid. The term comes from the LATIN verb fervere, which means "to boil." The word "fermentation" has the same source.The most COMMON gas released in effervescence is carbon dioxide, however nitrogen gas may be DISSOLVED in liquids to produce smaller bubbles. |
