Introduction
When salts
dissolve in water they become ionized. In other words,
they break down to the ions that formed them. For
example a solution of common salt contains sodium and
chloride ions.
When two salts are
mixed together, different ions may react and result in
new chemical products. This especially happens when one
of the possible combinations are water insoluble and
separate in the form of gas or solids. Knowing how the
ions react with each other can help us predict and
control the reactions in a direction that is beneficial
for us.
