A solution when diluted with H2O{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{O} and boiled gives a white ppt. On addition of excess NH4Cl/NH4OH\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_4}\mathrm{Cl}/\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_4}\mathrm{OH}, the volume of precipitate decreases due to dissolution leaving behind a white gelatinous precipitate. The precipitate which dissolves in NH4OH/NH4Cl\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_4}\mathrm{OH}/\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_4}\mathrm{Cl} is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Zn(OH)2\mathrm{Zn}{\left( {\mathrm{OH}} \right)_2}
Option A (Zn(OH)2\mathrm{Zn}{\left( {\mathrm{OH}} \right)_2}) is correct because zinc hydroxide is amphoteric and dissolves in excess ammonium hydroxide due to the formation of a complex, while aluminum hydroxide forms a gelatinous precipitate.
