You would need to write out the molecular equations for the products and
potential reactants and then check to see if any of the products were
soluble.

For Example, if you combined equal volumes of 0.5 M NaCl and AgNO3, you
would form a precipitate.

NaCl (aq)  + AgNO3 (aq) -> NaNO3 (aq) + AgCl (s)
