Solution

A hydroxide that is insoluble in water:
An example of hydroxide that is insoluble in water is Copper hydroxide ( $Cu {(OH)}_{2}$ ).
The Hydrogen ions in water remove the Hydroxide ions from the Copper ion and a precipitate is formed.
That is, $Cu {(OH)}_{2}$ is insoluble in water.
Therefore, an example of a hydroxide that is insoluble in water is Copper hydroxide ( $Cu {(OH)}_{2}$ ).
