Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The meanings of the terms 'coherent' and 'incoherent' precipitates should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Precipitation is termed as the generation of the solid from a specific solution. When the reaction happens in a liquid solution, the solid mold is termed as the precipitate. The chemical which sources the solid form is termed as the precipitant. The development of the precipitate designates the existence of a chemical reaction. When the concentration of one solid is directly above the solubility limit in other mass solid the phenomena of precipitation may occur.
