Answer

(i) Dirty green ppt. of ferrous hydroxide is formed which is insoluble in excess of NH4OH.

(ii) Reddish brown ppt. of ferric hydroxide is formed which is insoluble in excess of NH4OH.

(iii) White ppt. of lead hydroxide is formed which is insoluble in excess of NH4OH.

(iv) White gelatinous ppt. of Zinc hydroxide is formed which is soluble in excess of NH4OH.

(b) The balanced chemical equations are given as :

(i) FeSO4 + 2NH4OH ⟶ (NH4)2SO4 + Fe(OH)2

(ii) FeCl3 + 3NH4OH ⟶ 3NH4Cl + Fe(OH)3

(iii) Pb(NO3)2 + 2NH4OH ⟶ 2NH4NO3 + Pb(OH)2

(iv) Zn(NO3)2 + 2NH4OH ⟶ 2NH4NO3 + Zn(OH)2
