Aqueous silver nitrate (AgNO3) is added to a solution containing potassium chloride (KCl) and the precipitation of a white solid, silver chloride is observed.
SILVER CHLORIDE IS A PRECIPITATE HERE !!
AgNO3 (aq) + KCl (aq) = AgCl (s) + KNO3 (aq)
PRECIPITATION IS DEFINED AS -Precipitation is the formation of a solid in a solution during a chemical reaction. When the reaction occurs, the solid formed is called the precipitate, and the liquid remaining above the solid is called the supernate.
