Answer
$\underset{\text { Colourless }}{ ZnSO _4}+2 NaOH \longrightarrow \underset{\text { white gelatinous ppt. }}{ Zn ( OH )_2 \downarrow}+\underset{\text { Colourless }}{ Na _2 SO _4}$
In excess of alkali, White gelatinous ppt. of $Zn ( OH )_2$ becomes soluble :
$Zn ( OH )_2+2 NaOH (\text { excess }) \longrightarrow Na _2 ZnO _2+2 H _2 O$
Sodium Zincate (Colourless)
