Excess of dilute sodium hydroxide solution is gradually added with shaking to an aqueous solution of zinc sulphate. What would you observe?

1. A light blue precipitate is first formed which finally dissolves to give a deep blue solution

2. A white precipitate appears which dissolves to give a colourless solution.

3. A white precipitation is formed which does not dissolve 

4. No change takes place and the solution remains clear
