Reactions in Aqueous Solutions General Chemistry I CHM 111 Dr Erdal OnurhanSlide 2 A Precipitation Reaction Magnesium chloride is added to silver nitrate. Both reactants are soluble in water and are strong electrolytes (complete ionisation). One of the products, silver chloride, is INSOLUBLE and precipitates out as a white solid. The other product, magnesium nitrate, is soluble in water and stays in solution above the solid.
