A student observed a precipitate form during a chemical reaction. Which of the following did the student most likely observe? A. Bubbles of gas floated to the top of a solution. B. The color of a liquid changed when a solid was added to it. C. Steam rose from a flask when a powder was added to a liquid. D. A solid sank to the bottom of a container when two liquids were mixed.
Question
A student observed a precipitate form during a chemical reaction. Which of the following did the student most likely observe? A. Bubbles of gas floated to the top of a solution. B. The color of a liquid changed when a solid was added to it. C. Steam rose from a flask when a powder was added to a liquid. D. A solid sank to the bottom of a container when two liquids were mixed.
Solution
The student most likely observed D. A solid sank to the bottom of a container when two liquids were mixed. This is because a precipitate in a chemical reaction is a solid that forms and settles out of a liquid mixture.
