Precipitate Lab Report

In the prac, the aim was to determine which combinations of each solutions created precipitate and which did not. The prac proved to work in achieving this for most examples, although few were anomalous and did not give sound results. Take for instance, barium chloride and silver nitrate shown in the discussion. The result shown was cloudy and appeared to have precipitated where in actuality it should not have. It is also good to note that some instances of a precipitate not forming visibly may be due to it being suspended in the fluid and not solid at the bottom. One instance of this may be with potassium iodide added to silver nitrate. Upon a second evaluation, the cloudiness and whiteness could potentially be the precipitate being suspended
