Answer

The precipitation reaction is: AgNO₃ (aq) + KCl (aq) → AgCl (s) + KNO₃

Procedure

Precipitation reactions occur when cations and anions in an aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic solid called a precipitate.

Reaction 1

Mg + O₂ → MgO₂

This is a synthesis and redox reaction, the product is a white or off-white powder.

Reaction 2

NaOH + HCl → H₂O + NaCl

This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): NaOH is a base, and HCl is an acid.

Reaction 3

2H₂ (g) + O₂ (g) → 2 H₂O

This is a synthesis or redox reaction.

Reaction 4

AgNO₃ (aq) + KCl (aq) → AgCl (s) + KNO₃

This is a precipitation reaction: AgCl is the formed precipitate.
