unobtainium

That is highly dependent on the cluster size of the transition metal.
For example:
a) Dissolve gold in aqua regia, this will create gold clusters of some hundred to some thousand gold atoms. If you precipitate it with NaOh the precipitate is brown.
b) Dissolve gold in aqua regia, get rid of the nitric acid by repeated evaporation with HCl - Boil the solution a long time in HCl - You will end up with Au2Cl6 - This will form a orangish red precipitate...
c) Dissolve gold in aqua regia, get rid of the nitric acid by repeated evaporation with HCl - Boil the solution a long time in HCl and NaCl (1 mol of gold to 20 mol of NaCl) - The color of the gold clorid will turn green and you will end up with NaAuCl3 - Use nitric acid to get rid of the clorid - you end up with NaAu - raise the ph to exact 7 (with NaOH)and you will end up with HAu which forms a white precipitate - anneal the HAu ander innert gas to get pure monoatomic Au a white powder.
Fazit: the world of microclusters is strange...
when they react, it forms copper hydroxide which is insoluble, and hence a precipitate in the resultant solution of sodium nitrate
Metallic copper does not react with sodium hydroxide. But if sodium hydroxide is added into a solution of copper ions, it would form Copper(II) Hydroxide. It is a precipitate which is insoluble in water.
how much sodium hydroxide in grams must be added to seawater to precipitate 86.9mg of magnesium present?
you get a precipitate.
When heat copper hydroxide and sodium Nitrate the pale blue precipitate change into black solid
Beryllium hydroxide
when they react, it forms copper hydroxide which is insoluble, and hence a precipitate in the resultant solution of sodium nitrate
barium hydroxide
no

Magnesium hydroxide, a precipitate, is formed.
They form precipitates of Ferric hydroxide.

hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide
you get a precipitate.
Reaction_of_ferric_chloride_to_sodium_hydroxideBasically: FeCl3 (ferric chloride) + 3NaOH (sodium hydroxide) > Fe(OH)3 + 3NaCl (ferric hydroxide precipitate and sodium chloride, respectively)
The limiting reagent is sodium hydroxide.
