Liz Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 AB + CD --> AD + BC basically, there is a sort of switching between the two ionic compounds. the cation of one compound is paired with the anion of the other. that is as basic as it can get, methinks. or was there something specific in your mind?

General Spoon Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 So, when dissolved in water, the positives/negitives (depends on how you look at it) switch places, and one of them becomes a solid. That it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YokaiKnight Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Not necessarily--not everything is insoluble in water. It would be better if you gave an example problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
