This past Friday, in Chemistry class, we carried out a lab where we had to combine 10 different elements in a well plate and write down which ones reacted to form a precipitate. After we collected this data, we had to figure out the balanced chemical reaction equations and the balanced net ionic reaction equations for these. Before we conducted the lab, for practice, I went through all of the possible reactions and predicted whether or not they were going to produce a precipitate, using the solubility rules. Here is a website that explains how to do this:
Predicting using Solubility Rules
Whenever two chemicals reacted to form a precipitate, they formed a unique color, and a lot of them were very surprising and cool! I did not know that two clear liquids could come together to form something so colorful. Overall, this lab was really fun to do, and it was really helpful in getting me to memorize the solubility rules. Here is a picture of some of the chemicals that reacted to form a precipitate:
I liked the link you used to predict solubility rules it was very helpful! And I agree with you about the color changes those were very cool to watch!
