precipitation reaction
A type of chemical reaction where soluble reactants form an insoluble product, known as a precipitate.
acid-base reaction
A chemical reaction that involves the transfer of protons (H+) between an acid and a base, resulting in the formation of water and a salt.
oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction
