Question
Why does no precipitation occur on the addition of ammonium hydroxide to calcium salt solution?
Short Answer

Solution
No precipitate is formed because calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, is sufficiently soluble in water. Also, ammonium hydroxide is a weak base and provides a low concentration of OH− ions, which is not enough to precipitate calcium hydroxide from a calcium salt solution.
