Examine the products of the reactions on this page and determine in each whether a gas, water or
precipitate if formed. Use the solubility table in Appendix A of your textbook to determine the solubilities
of the reaction products. If there is no gas, water, or precipitate produced, put an X through the yield
sign because no reaction occurs.
