Identify the precipitation reaction in the set?

The third reaction

(2NaOH + NiCL2 ---> 2NaCl + Ni(OH)2)

Explanation:

By definition, a precipitation reaction refers to the formation of an insoluble salt when two solutions containing soluble salts are combined.

From the 4 options, we can eliminate the first and second one immediately because there is no formation of an insoluble salt.

Then, the last one can also be eliminated because even though there is insoluble solid formed, but it is not a salt, and, the reactants are not solutions too. In fact, the last one is a displacement reaction. A more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal to form an ion.

Since the third reaction matches the definition of precipitation reaction, this is the answer.
