Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formation of an insoluble material in the bathtub due to the reaction of hard water ions with soluble anions in soap is an example of a precipitation reaction. In this reaction, the soluble ions present in the soap react with the ions present in hard water to form an insoluble material (a ring in the bathtub).
