Solute=potassium chloride, solvent=water
Answer,
For example, silver ion can be precipitated with hydrochloric acid to yield solid silver chloride. Because many cations will not react with hydrochloric acid in this way, this simple reaction can be used to separate ions that form insoluble chlorides from those that do not.
Are you referring to DNA?
The reactant is Mercury (II) Oxide while the products are Mercury and Oxygen separately.
This is because the reactants are typically always on the left side of the yields symbol. In this decomposition reaction, it would still be the same as at the end of the reaction, there were to products produced: Mercury and Oxygen.
Products tend to always be on the right side of the yields symbol, they're what comes out of a reaction no matter what type.
Hope this helps!
