    Which of the following compounds does not give a precipitate with excess of NaOH?

    A) \[ZnS{{O}_{4}}\]                              

    B) \[FeS{{O}_{4}}\]

    C) \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\]                             

    D) \[HgC{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    On adding sodium hydroxide to the \[\text{ZnS}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\]solution, first the white precipitate of zinc hydroxide is obtained, which dissolves in excess of NaOH due to the formation of sodium zincate. \[ZnS{{O}_{4}}+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{white}\,\text{ppt}}{\mathop{Zn{{(OH)}_{2}}}}\,\downarrow +N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] \[Zn{{(OH)}_{2}}+2NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{sodium} \\  \text{zincate} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}Zn{{O}_{2}}}}\,+2{{H}_{2}}O\]
