When do precipitation reactions occur?
When solute particles find each other and form a solid together
What must be consulted before determining the state of the products in aqueous reactions?
Solubility rules
Under what conditions can precipitation happen?

Study Notes
Precipitation Reaction
- The process of a compound coming out of solution is called precipitation.
- The solid formed in the process of precipitation is called a precipitate.
Conditions of Precipitation
- Precipitation reactions occur when two aqueous solutions containing ions that form an insoluble compound are mixed.
- The solubility rules must be consulted before determining the state of the products in aqueous reactions.
- Precipitation can happen when the concentration of ions in the solution exceeds the solubility product, causing the ions to come together and form a solid precipitate.
