Solution
Initially when ammonium solution is added to aqueous solution of
copper sulphate a bluish precipi tate of copper hydroxide is obtained
which dissolves in excess of ammonium hydroxide.
\[\ce{CuSO4 + 2NH4OH -> (NH4)2SO4 + Cu(OH)2}\]
\[\ce{Cu(OH)2 + (NH4)2SO4 + 2NH4OH -> (Cu(NH3)4)SO4 + 4H2O}\]
