Bennett Lin · Answer 1

NaCl will precipitate

Explanation:

As mention in the question the solution is the saturated solution whenever in the solution we adding another solution of sodium ions or chloride ions, or even both, would then eventually gives and lead in the NaCl evaporation solution.

Whenever the adding of the HCl solution it splits into the hydrogen and chloride ions, that is a strong acid. So, we are simply adding chloride ions into the solution. Therefore from the above scenario the answer is yes, it's precipitating the NaCl.
