solutions are combinations of two or more evenly mixed substances. solutions are often made by dissolving a solid, like sugar, in a liquid, like water. interestingly, the reverse can also happen: you can form a solid from a liquid solution. if the solid is formed through a chemical change, the process is called precipitation, and the solid that forms is called the precipitate. precipitation might occur, for instance, if you mix two solutions. substances within the solutions may react to form a new, solid substance, which would be the precipitate. after precipitation, you can isolate the precipitate by pouring the liquid and precipitate through a filter. the liquid that passes through the filter is called the filtrate, while the precipitate caught on the filter is called the residue. precipitation is an important process with practical uses. for example, it can be used to make safe, clean drinking water.

precipitate
filtrate
residue
The text explains that a precipitate is a solid formed from a liquid solution (often via mixing solutions, with substances reacting to form a new solid). The image shows a glass with a solid - like substance (the precipitate - looking material) in the liquid. Filtrate is the liquid passing through a filter, and residue is the precipitate caught on the filter. Here, the solid - like material in the liquid solution matches the definition of a precipitate.
