Q. A precipitate is formed when
A) The ionic product is nearly equal to the solubility product
B) A solution becomes saturated
C) The ionic product exceeds the solubility product
D) The ionic product is less than solubility product
Explanation

A precipitate is formed when the ionic product exceeds the solubility product.
i.e., $\left\lbrack A^{+} \right\rbrack\left\lbrack B^{-} \right\rbrack > K_{sp}$
