Answer
copper nitrate
Reason — When copper nitrate reacts with ammonium hydroxide NH4OH, it initially forms a light blue precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide (Cu(OH)2).
This precipitate is soluble in excess ammonium hydroxide due to the formation of a deep blue complex, tetraamminecopper(II) ([Cu(NH3)4]2+), making it soluble.
