Chemistry 201 students looked at examples of metathesis reactions today. A distinction was made between a gelatinous precipitate (like gelatin) and a crystalline precipitate. The solubility table was introduced. For example, all sodium salts are soluble.
Other reaction types that were discussed included combusion, acid-base neutralization, single replacement and redox.
