The amount of precipitate produced will be proportional to the amount of NH₃ reacted with water to produce NH₄OH.

<h3>What is precipitate?</h3>

Precipitates are the crystal type formation, when the solute is no more dissolving in the solvent.

Imagine mixing 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt with 2 cups of ammonia, the reaction is

2NH₃ + MgSO₄ + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + (NH₄)₂SO₄

The amount of precipitate produced will be proportional to the amount of NH₃ reacted with water to produce NH₄OH.
