Cuso4with the small amount of NH4OH, blue precipitate of cupric hydroxide is obtained. Which is soluble in excess of NH4OH due to formation of soluble complex.

CuSO4 + 2NH4OH ——–> Cu(OH)2 [blue precipitate ]+(NH4)2SO4

Cu(OH)2 + 2NH4OH + (NH4)2SO4 ——>[ Cu(NH3)4 ]SO4 + 4H2O
Ammonia NH3 while ammonia solution is an aqueous form of ammonia when dissolved in water nh4oh
