Title: Zn(NO3)2 + NH3 = ?
Post by: chowdown89 on September 24, 2007, 12:38:24 PM

my chemistry lab performed a experiment where we mixed Zn(NO3)2 with NH3. A precipitate formed. Can anyone fill in the products of the reaction?

Also, when we added NH4OH, the precipitate dissoved. What would be the product for this second part?
