Solution

  1. Zinc sulfate(ZnSO4) is a strong acid or strong electrolyte.
  2. So it can easily react with strong alkali to give a gelatinous white precipitate and is due to the formation of Zinc hydroxide(ZnOH2)
  3. Let us take an example with Potassium hydroxide(KOH)
  4. The reaction is,

ZnSO4+2KOHā†’Zn(OH)2(Zinchydroxide)+K2SO4

The solution C or strong alkali which gives gelatinous white precipitate by reacting with Zinc sulfate(ZnSO4) and will disappear when excess is added.
