Explanation:

A precipitate is a solid that forms from a solution during a chemical reaction. When a precipitate forms, the solution becomes cloudy as the solid particles scatter light. Over time, the precipitate may settle to the bottom of the container or collect on another object in the solution. This is a visual indication that a chemical change has occurred, as new substances (the precipitate) are formed.

Answer:

You can tell that a precipitate has formed when the solution becomes cloudy and the solid either suddenly appears in the solution, settles to the bottom, or collects on another object.
