Insoluble salts can be prepared by reacting two suitable soluble salts to form one soluble and one insoluble.
This is called double decomposition or precipitation.
The mixture is filtered and the residue is washed with distilled water then dried.
Examples of reactions that lead to formation of insoluble salts include:
Insoluble salts are compounds with low solubility in a particular solvent, often water. They exhibit limited capacity to dissolve, remaining mostly undissolved as solid particles or precipitates in the solvent. Insolubility is influenced by factors such as ion size, charge, and interactions, resulting in the formation of visible suspensions or sedimentation in the solution.
