Question

What is the formula of the precipitate, if any, formed when an aqueous solution of sodium phosphate is added to an aqueous solution of calcium chloride?

Expert Solution

Step 1

When the two solutions of soluble salts are combined then it will form insoluble salt. This insoluble salt which falls out of solution is known as precipitate.

It transform the ions into an insoluble salt in aqueous solution. It also help us to determine the presence of different ions in solution.

Precipitation reaction are basically double displacement reaction that involve the production of solid residue called the precipitate.
