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