(i) CuSO4 + 4NH4OH → [Cu(NH3)4]SO4 + 4H2O or CuSO4 + 2NH4OH → Cu(OH)2 + (NH4)2­SO4
Cu(OH)2 + 2(NH4)2SO4
→ [Cu(NH3)4]SO4 + 2H2O + H2SO4
Deep blue complex
(ii) H2O2 → H2O + [O] ] * 3
CrCI3 + 3NaOH → Cr(OH)3 ↓ + 3NaCI
Green

Yellow
ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION : Precipitates, having green colouration of Cr(OH)3 are formed. The green precipitate then dissolves to produce a yellow solution of chromate. Reaction are
CrCI3 + 3NaOH → Cr(OH)3 ↓ + 3NaCI
(geen)
H2O2 → H2O + [O]
2Cr(OH)3 + 4NaOH + 3[O] → 2Na2CrO4 + 5H2O
