Precipitant


Definition:

  • (a.) Falling or rushing headlong; rushing swiftly, violently, or recklessly; moving precipitately.
  • (a.) Unexpectedly or foolishly brought on or hastened; rashly hurried; hasty; sudden; reckless.
  • (n.) Any force or reagent which causes the formation of a precipitate.

Example Sentences:
