Yes.
Zinc hydroxide contains Zn2+ ions which dissolves in ammonia as Zn(NH3)n2+ complex ions, with n=2, 4 or 6

Why do the solution of the white precipitate of Zinc hydroxide dissolve in excess of Ammonium hydroxide?

The white precipitate of zinc hydroxide dissolves in excess ammonium hydroxide because of the formation of the complex ion [Zn(NH3)4]2+. This complex ion is soluble in water, leading to the dissolution of the precipitate. The excess ammonium hydroxide provides additional ammonia molecules to form more of the soluble complex ions, increasing the solubility of zinc hydroxide.


Is ammonium sulfate soluble in ammonium hydroxide?

Yes.


What elements produce hydrogen gas with ammonium hydroxide?

When ammonium hydroxide reacts with a metal, such as magnesium or zinc, it can produce hydrogen gas. The metal displaces the ammonium ion in ammonium hydroxide, forming the metal hydroxide and releasing hydrogen gas in the process.


Is ammonium hydroxide a soluble base?

Yes, ammonia is a very soluble base. However the solution is (often incorrectly) called ammonium hydroxide: there is less than 0.01 M OH- (hydroxide) in a 6 M NH3 solution. NH4OH is NOT present in- and can NOT be isolated from this solution!


Is ammonium hydroxide an alkali?

Yes, ammonium hydroxide is considered an alkali because it is a soluble base that dissociates into hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solution.


When excess of ammonia is added to aqueous zinc sulfate does the precipitate dissolve?

Yes. The ammonia will form ammonium hydroxide. The ammonium cation (NH4+) will react with SO4^2- to form the soluble salt ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, this will push the reaction to the right, thus forming more ammonium sulfate from the insoluble zinc sulfate.


Is zinc hydroxide a base or alkali?

An alkali is a soluble base, and zinc hydroxide is insoluble, so it is a base.


What is a soluble base beginning with A?

One example of a soluble base that begins with the letter A is ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH). It is a strong base that can readily dissolve in water to form ammonium ions and hydroxide ions.


Is Zn(OH)2 soluble?

Zinc hydroxide is very low soluble in water.


What is the solubility of ammonium in water?

I suppose that you think to ammonia, not ammonium; the solubility of ammonia at 25 0C is 31 %.


Is ammonium hydroxide soluble in ethanol?

There is no such thing as an ammonium hyroxide salt because when an ammonium ion comes into contact with a hydroxide, it spontaneously forms NH3 gas and water. But fundamentally it would be soluble because all ammonium ions are soluble. Hope this helps


Is ammonia is soluble in water or a polar molecule?

Ammonia form in water ammonium hydroxide - NH4OH.
