Definition for Precipitation:

• Great hurry; tumultuous and blind haste; the operation of throwing down from a liquid a substance held in solution; the process of separating any substance from another. Note.- When substances held in solution fall down in a solid state, they are called precipitates; substances merely suspended in a liquid, as earthy matter in water, which fall or settle down, are called sediments- in the former case the operating cause is chemical, in the latter mechanical.
