Answer
When ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) is added to zinc nitrate solution [Zn(NO3)2], a gelatinous white ppt of zinc hydroxide [Zn(OH)2] is obtained which is soluble in excess of NH4OH.
(With excess NH4OH ppt. dissolves)
On the other hand, calcium nitrate solution [Ca(NO3)2] does not give any ppt. even when excess of ammonium hydroxide is added.
