उत्तर १
Zinc nitrate solution from calcium nitrate solution :
(i) \[\ce{Zn(NO3) + 2NaOH -> Zn(OH)2 + 2NaNO3}\]
On further addition of NaOH, Zn(OH)2 dissolves.
(ii ) \[\ce{Ca(NO3)2 + 2NaOH -> Ca(OH)2 + 2NaNO3}\]
Ca(OH)2 precipitates are sparingly soluble in excess of sodium hydroxide.
उत्तर २
- Adding sodium hydroxide solution to zinc nitrate results in a white precipitate that is soluble in excess sodium hydroxide.
- Adding sodium hydroxide solution to calcium nitrate results in a white precipitate that is insoluble in excess of sodium hydroxide.
