Precipitation reactions occur when cations (positively charged ion) and anions (negatively charged ion) of aqueous (involving water) solutions combine to form an insoluble ionic solid. One can determine if a reaction had occured by using the solubility rules. Since not all aqueous form precipitates, one must consult the solubility rules before determining the state of the product and writing a net ionic equation.
Precipitation and Double Replacement
Precipitates are insoluble ionic solid products of a reaction. A double replacement reaction occurs when two ionic reactants dissociate and bond with the respective anion or cation from the other reactant. The ions replace each other based on their charges. This is also known as "switching partners".
