* Precipitate:
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since these all are double displacement reactions, in which the cations and anions are exchanged, we can write the resulting chemical reactions as follows:
a. LiOH and NaCl: No precipitate is formed since LiOH and NaOH are both largely soluble in water:
b. BaCl2 and Na3PO4: barium phosphate precipitate is formed because it has a large molar mass which makes it insoluble in water:
c. MgSO4 and KOH: magnesium hydroxide "milky" precipitate is formed because it is not soluble in water:
Moreover, we can relate the solubility of a substance by considering its polarity, molar mass and nature; usually, heavy substances tend to be insoluble in water as well as nonpolar compounds.
Best regards!
