What happens when calcium nitrate reacts with ammonium hydroxide?

Solution

When calcium nitrate reacts with sodium hydroxide, a white precipitate of calcium hydroxide is formed, but with ammonium hydroxide, no precipitate is formed. This is because ammonium hydroxide being a weak base do not furnish enough $O H^{-}$ ions to cause precipitation.
