Answer» (a) Dirty green ppt. of Ferrous hydroxide is formed which is insoluble in excess of NH4OH. FeSO4+ 2NH4OH → [NH4]2SO4 + Fe(OH)2 (b) Reddish brown ppt. of ferric hydroxide is formed which is insoluble in ammonium hydroxide. FeCl3 + 3NH3OH → 3NH4Cl + Fe(OH)3 (c) White ppt. of lead hydroxide is formed which is insoluble in NH4OH. Pb(NO3)2 + 2NH4OH → 2NH4NO3 + Pb(OH)2 (d) White gelatinous ppt. of Zinc hydroxide is formed which is soluble in NH4OH. Zn(NO3)2 + 2NH4OH →2NH4NO3 + Zn(OH)2 |
