Q

What are precipitation reactions?

A

Chemical reactions where solutions react to form insoluble products are known as precipitation reactions.
What is meant by insoluble?
Lime scale forming in a kettle is an example of a precipitation reaction.
This is caused by the thermal decomposition of Calcium Bicarbonate in tap water turning into insoluble Calcium Carbonate - limescale.
