Suppose u place a beaker containing a solution in a refrigerator , an hr later a white solid is found on thr bottom of thr beaker. What happened. Why?

I think a precipitate formed, but can any1 explain briefly so i can understand better? Thanks

Some solute was dissolved in the water and it was soluble at room temperature. When you placed the beaker in the water the temperature decreased, the solubility of the solute is less at cooler temperatures; therefore, some of it precipitated(came out of)(crystallized) etc. from solution.
