  • Precipitation: Understanding Solid Formation in Chemical Reactions
    The general name for a solid produced in a chemical reaction that turns a solution cloudy is a precipitate.

    Here's why:

    * Precipitate: A solid that forms from a solution during a chemical reaction.

    * Cloudy: The appearance of a solution containing a precipitate, due to the scattering of light by the suspended solid particles.

    The process of forming a precipitate is called precipitation.
