Precipitate Reactions
Precipitate (ppt): A solid resulting from a chemical reaction
This is a double displacement reaction
A(solution) + B(solution) ------> C(solution) + D(s)(ppt)
Once you have written your chemical equation and done the double displacement, you will refer to your solubility chart to identify is there is a solid (ppt).

Double Displacement:
As long as the compound contains one of the above, it is considered an aqueous solution.
Example:
2AgNO3 (aq) + K2CrO4 (aq) -------> Ag2CrO4(s) + 2KNO3 (aq)
- 2KNO3= soluble because it contains NO3
- Ag2Cr)4= end up being a precipitate because it does not follow any of the rules and when you refer to the solubility chart is falls under insoluble which means it is a solid.
