Çökelim

Çökelim is a Turkish word that translates to "precipitate" in English. In chemistry, a precipitate refers to a solid that forms in a liquid solution during a chemical reaction. This solid then separates from the solution. The formation of a precipitate is often an indicator that a chemical reaction has occurred. This phenomenon is commonly observed in various chemical processes, including water treatment, industrial manufacturing, and biological systems. For instance, when two soluble ionic compounds are mixed, and the resulting ions combine to form an insoluble compound, a precipitate will form. The presence of a precipitate can be used to identify specific ions in a solution. The process of removing precipitates from a liquid is called sedimentation or filtration. The term "çökelim" is used in Turkish scientific and technical contexts to describe this solid formation. It is a fundamental concept in understanding chemical reactions and their observable outcomes.
