first of all anyone can answer that quetion. its not only for smart people. and i’ am not smart but i can answer that quetion. and trust me i ‘m only 14 a freshman from high school.

1)Precipitation is the condensation of a solid from a solution during a chemical reaction. This occurs when the solution is supersaturated, whereupon the solid forms from the solute phase, and usually sinks to the bottom of the solution.

2) i don’t know that answer to number two and i bet anyone can answer that.

peace out
