Precipitation Flashcards
1
Q
What type of chemical reaction is precipitation?
A
Endothermic
2
Q
Precipitation Reaction
A
Two soluble salts combine to produce an insoluble salt (precipitate)
Only for ionic bonds
3
Q
How does precipitate reaction occur?
A
The solvent disolves the salts and splits them up into parts. The parts then bump into eachother and try to rejoin, but this will only happen if the result is insoluble otherwise will instantly disolve.
4
Q
Products of Precipitate Reaction
A
Metal 1 Non-metal 1 + Metal 2 Non-metal 2 –> Metal 1 Non-metal 2 + Metal 2 Non-metal 1
Each metal will join with the non-metal of the other compound
