Question

1)Consider the reactions observed when NaOH(aq) and NH3(aq) were added to the solutions containing Zn2 (aq): a)What is the identity of the precipitate formed when the NaOH(aq) and NH3(aq) were added dropwise (limited amounts added)

Answer 1

A white gelatinous precipitate is observed in each case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Qualitative analysis in chemistry is mostly used to identify the ions present in a sample by adding certain reagents. The observation after adding the reagent often leads to an inference.

When NaOH is added to a solution containing Zn^2+ in drops, a white gelatinous precipitate is observed.

When NH3(aq) is added in drops to a solution containing Zn^2+, a white gelatinous precipitate is also observed.
