Precipitation

Precipitation is any forms of particles, whether liquid or solid, that Precipitation reaction leads to a reaction  that leads to the formation of a heavier solid in a lighter liquid. Precipitation is basically any product of the condensation of the atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity. This occurs when a portion of atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapor.
There are two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to the air and it becomes saturated. Cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air. Precipitation  forms as smaller droplets coalesion with other rain drops or ice crystals within a cloud. Short periods of rain  in scattered location are named showers.
An example:Mixing silver nitrate and sodium chloride in water will cause silver chloride to precipitate out of solution as a solid. In this example, the precipitate is silver chloride.
When writing a chemical reaction, the presence of a precipitate may be indicated by following the chemical formula with a down arrow


Precipitation in chemistry is  the system of the  formation of an insoluble compound when mixing two different solutions. The insoluble solid that is formed is called the precipitate,For example when a solution of sodium sulfate is mixed with a solution of barium chloride, a white, insoluble precipitate of barium sulfate is formed.

well in chemistry, a precipitate is an insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution. The emergence of the insoluble solid from solution is called precipitation. Often the precipitate emerges as a suspension. Precipitates can form when two soluble salts react in solution to form one or more insoluble products.In general, precipitation happens when one phase is ejected from another a liquid ejects a solid, or a gas ejects a liquid or solid. In precipitation for example f you've ever made wine, beer, or fruit juices, one of the stages you'll often go through is fining, which removes dissolved substances that would otherwise worsen the taste of the drinks.
A fining agent binds to soluble substances such as proteins, Polyphemus and sulfides, causing them to form a precipitate that drops to the bottom of the liquid for easy removal.
What cause precipitation in Chemistry?
Precipitation reactions occur when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic solid called a precipitate. Whether or not such a reaction occurs can be determined by using the solubility rules for common ionic solids.

Isomerization

Research: What are structural Isomers? Online definition:  In chemistry isomerization is the process by which one molecule is transformed into another molecule which has exactly the same atoms, but the atoms have a different arrangement My definition: When the arrangement of a molecule is changed but still has all of the same atoms. (Alkanes) Examples : - Methane - Ethane - Propane  - Butane VIDEO: Constitutional Isomers : Isomers that differ in connectivity Simple hydrocarbons such as; methane, ethane, and propane can not have constitutional isomers because there is no other way to connect them.   There are 2 different butanes that re constitutional isomers.

Combustion Reaction🔥

                                                                                  Reactions Complete Versus Incomplete Combustion  So there is something we call a complete combustion and the other a dirty combustion. Fuel such as petrol or methane, etc can undergo complete or incomplete combustion. When methane completes a complete combustion it produces carbon dioxide and water. When methane goes through an incomplete under a limited amount of air it produces carbon monoxide and water or carbon or water. What is Combustion? There are many types of combustion. But I believe the most known one is the combustion with methane which is the one I put above.  Combustion can also be called burning. Combustion is an exothermic reaction which means it gives out heat. Re...

Melting Point of Different Plastics

For my lab, I will be testing the melting points of different plastics. My Independent Variable will be the different plastics My Dependent Variable will be the melting point of different plastics My Control Variable will be the amount of plastic I will be putting into the oven to melt. To determine the melting point, I have to be observing the plastic for the whole time while it is being heated. I have to be observing very closely because, to determine the melting point I have to see when the plastic starts to melt and when it is completely melted (1). I will be using two plastics two compare each other, I will use Polyethylene terephthalate which is the most produced plastic in the world and Polyethylene, these two plastics are the most common plastics (2). I will be comparing the melting point of each of the plastics and finding out what plastic is more resistant to heat. Polyethylene terephthalate is thermoplastic which means that it reacts to heat in a ...
