Answer:

A precipitate is a solid that separates out of a liquid solution when it is supersaturated (insoluble). This is a chemical change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Precipitation is when a chemical substance converts into a solid from a solution by converting the substance into an insoluble form or a super-saturated solution. When the reaction occurs in a liquid solution, the solid formed is called the precipitate.

Hope that helps.
