precipitation

Also known as precipitating out, chemical precipitation, precipitation from solution, dropping out of solution

chemical process leading to the settling of an insoluble solid from a solution

AI overview

Precipitation is a chemical process in which a solid substance forms and settles out of a liquid solution. It matters because it's a fundamental process used in manufacturing, water treatment, and other industrial applications to separate and purify materials.

Principle of chemical precipitation in aqueous solution

In an aqueous solution, precipitation is the "sedimentation of a solid material (a precipitate) from a liquid solution". The solid formed is called the precipitate. In case of an inorganic chemical reaction leading to precipitation, the chemical reagent causing the solid to form is called the precipitant.
