Solution

Sodium hydroxide on reaction with copper salt gives a pale blue precipitate $C u (O H)_{2}$ which is insoluble even in excess of $N a O H$ , while with ferrous salt gives a dirty green precipitate $F e (O H)_{2}$ which is also insoluble in excess of $N a O H$ .

$F e S O_{4} + 2 N a O H \to F e (O H)_{2} + N a_{2} S O_{4}$

$C u S O_{4} + 2 N a O H \to C u (O H)_{2} ↓ + 2 N a S O_{4}$

Ammonium hydroxide on reaction with copper salt gives a pale blue precipitate $C u (O H)_{2}$ which is soluble in excess of $N H_{4} O H$ , while with ferrous salt gives a dirty green precipitate $F e (O H)_{2}$ which is insoluble in even excess of $N H_{4} O H$ .
