Writing Equations for Precipitation <strong>Reaction</strong>s<br />

• Make sure to write correct (charge neutral) formulas<br />

for the new ionic compounds.<br />

3. Use the solubility rules to determine whether any <strong>of</strong> the<br />

potential new products are indeed insoluble.<br />

Potentially Insoluble Products:<br />

NaCl CuCO 3<br />

• NaCl is soluble (compounds containing Cl − are usually<br />

soluble and Na + is not an exception).<br />

• CuCO 3 is insoluble (compounds containing CO 3 2− are<br />

usually insoluble and Cu 2+ is not an exception).
