A solid that forms in a liquid solution.
A solid that forms in a liquid solution. Precipitates can form when two solutions of salts are mixed and react to produce an insoluble product. They are also formed when a solution can no longer hold its load of solute, for example because of cooling or evaporation, and the excess solute precipitates out.
