Explanation

Add dil. aqueous NNH\(_3\) solution to about 2cm\(^3\) of each solution.

Observation Inference

(i) White precipitate soluble in excess NH\(_{3}\)

(ii) No visible reaction 

(iii) Reddish brown ppt. insoluble in excess NH\(_{3(aq)}\) 

(iv) White precipitate insoluble in excess NH\(_{3(aq)}\) 

 

 

Therefore ZnCl\(_2\)

It is therefore CaCl\(_2\) 

Therefore Fe\(_2\)(SO\(_2\))

Therefore Pb(NO\(_3\))\(_3\)
