उत्तर
Calcium nitrate solution and zinc nitrate solution can be distinguished by sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide reacts with zinc nitrate and zinc hydroxide is formed which is soluble in excess of sodium hydroxide.
\[\ce{Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) -> Zn(OH)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)}\]
Sodium hydroxide reacts with calcium nitrate and forms white ppt. of calcium hydroxide insoluble in excess of sodium hydroxide.
\[\ce{Ca(NO3)2 + 2NaOH -> Ca(OH)2 + 2NaNO3}\]
