Solution

Precipitation reactions occur when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic solid called a precipitate.  A precipitate is a solid that forms out of solution. 

A common example is that of the mixing of two clear solutions: Silver nitrate (AgNO3) and sodium chloride (NaCl)
\[\ce{AgNO3(aq) + NaCI(aq) -> AgCI(s) ↓ + NaNO3(aq)}\]
The precipitate forms because the solid (AgCl) is insoluble in water.
