What are the requirements for preparing an insoluble salt?

[Fly_High]

In order to prepare an insoluble salt, there must only be a solid present right? The rest must be soluble and in aqueous state right?

Your question isn't very clear. How are you producing this insoluble salt? Through a double displacement reaction?

Yes, in order to prepare an insoluble salt, there should only be a solid present. The rest of the reactants should be soluble and in aqueous state. This is because the formation of an insoluble salt involves a precipitation reaction, where a solid salt is formed from the reaction of two soluble substances in solution. If there are other solids present in the reaction mixture, it may interfere with the formation of the insoluble salt or lead to the formation of a different product. Therefore, it is important to ensure that only the desired solid and soluble reactants are present in the reaction mixture to obtain the desired insoluble salt.
