Using large glass cylinders to demonstrate precipitation reactions

Description: A precipitate is formed from two soluble salts in a large glass cylinder that is almost completely filled with one of the salt solutions. The other salt is dissolved in a funnel at the top of the cylinder. When the solutions meet at the funnel stem, a precipitate forms. This process can continue for almost an hour.
