NaOH is added drop-wise till in excess to a solution of zinc sulphate.

Solution
When NaOH is added drop-wise to a solution of zinc sulphate, then the following reaction takes place:
\[\ce{ZnSO4 + 2NaOH -> \underset{\text{White gelatinous ppt.}}{Zn(OH)2 v + Na2SO4}}\]
When NaOH becomes in excess, then the following reaction takes place:
\[\ce{Zn(OH)2 + 2NaOH -> \underset{\text{Colourless}}{Na2ZnO2} + 2H2O}\]
