If you think to calcium hydroxide, after the reaction with carbon dioxide calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is obtained.
Because if you over correct, excess calcium carbonate is all but harmless, whilst excess sodium hydroxide can be corrosive and toxic.

One such salt would be aluminum chloride since it is soluble but when reacted with ammonium hydroxide, the insoluble aluminum hydroxide forms a precipitate. Not sure what is meant by "is insoluble in excess", however.

The reaction of zinc nitrate and excess sodium hydroxide begins with precipitation of zinc hydroxide ( Zn(OH)2 ), followed by dissolvement after adding excess sodium hydroxide ( 2 OH- ) to formation of zinc aat-ions ( [Zn(OH)4]2- )
Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 is a base and neutralizes acid. When a solution is acidic it contains excess hydrogen (H+) ions, calcium produces the hydroxide ion (OH-) in water, which reacts wit h the H+ ions to produce water. OH- + H+ --> H2O
the milk of lime is... wait for this... the lime of milk. ================================================================== Kidding aside from the first answer, milk of lime is another common name for limewater, a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide. It got its name from the process of its preparation, wherein excess calcium hydroxide is stirred in pure water and filtering off the excess insoluble Ca(OH)2. When excess calcium hydroxide is added to limewater, a suspension of calcium hydroxide particles remains, giving it a milky aspect, in which case it has the common name of milk of lime.

Ammonium hydroxide dissolves anything that is less strong than itself. The white precipitate of zinc hydroxide is not the whole component. Therefore, it is not as strong.

When excess calcium hydroxide is added to limewater, a suspension of calcium hydroxide particles remains, giving it a milky aspect, in which case it has the common name of milk of lime. Milk of lime is an alkaline solution with a pH of 12.3.
Copper metal itself does not react with sodium hydroxide. But when NaOH is added to a solution of copper ions, it would form a light blue precipitate, which is copper(II) hydroxide, and will NOT dissolve with the excess alkali.
