Question
Write balanced equation reaction of sodium hydroxide solution with iron (III) chloride solution.
Solution
Adding sodium hydroxide solution dropwise to FeCl3 produces a reddish coloured ppt that is insoluble in excess NaOH.
\[\ce{\underset{\underset{(yellow)}{Ferric chloride}}{FeCl3} + \underset{\underset{(colourless)}{Caustic soda}}{3NaOH} → \underset{\underset{(reddish brown ppt.)}{Ferric hydroxide}}{Fe(OH)3↓} + \underset{\underset{(colourless)}{Sodium chloride}}{3NaCl}}\]

Identify the substance Q based on the information given below:
The white crystalline solid Q is soluble in water. It liberates a pungent smelling gas when heated with sodium hydroxide solution.
A white solid A when heated with sodium hydroxide solution, gives a pungent gas B, which turns red litmus blue. The solid, when dissolved in dilute nitric acid and treated with silver nitrate gives a white precipitate of C which is soluble in an ammonia solution.
Using Sodium hydroxide solution, how would you distinguish: Zinc nitrate solution from calcium nitrate solution.
