Solution
When sodium hydroxide solution is added to zinc sulphate solution, till it is in excess whi te gelatinous precipi tates of Zn (OH)2 are formed and due to the excess of sodium hydroxide these ppt. get dissolved immidiately :
\[\ce{ZnSO4 + 2NaOH ->\underset{\text{white gelatinous ppt.}}{Zn(OH)2 + Na2SO4}}\]
\[\ce{Zn(OH)2 + 2NaOH ->\underset{\text{colourless}}{Na2ZnO2} + 2H2O}\]
