Solution
When NH3 solution is added to CuSO4 solution drop by drop, ammonia ions completely react with copper sulphate and precipitates of copper hydroxide are formed.
CuSO4(aq) + 2NH3(aq) + 2H2O(I) → Cu(OH)2(s) + (NH4)2SO4(aq)
But when we add excess of ammonia, the precipitate dissolves and a soluble complex is formed.
CuSO4(aq) + 4NH3(aq) → [Cu(NH3)4]SO4(aq)
