Solution
Zinc nitrate :
a. with sodium hydroxide :
- \[\ce{Zn(NO3) + 2NaOH -> Zn(OH)2 + 2NaNO3}\]
- On addition of excess of NaOH, white ppt. of Zn(OH)2 dissolves.
b. With ammonium hydroxide :
- \[\ce{Zn(NO3) + 2NH4OH -> Zn(OH)2 + 2NH4NO3}\]
- The gelatinous white insoluble ppt. of Zn(OH)2 dissolves in excess of ammonium hydroxide.
