Description
Zinc hydroxide is a white solid that usually forms in solution. It is not very stable as a dried solid, therefore a standard of zinc hydroxide is not available commercially. Zinc hydroxide Zn(OH)2 is an amphoteric chemical compound. Both bases and acids react with zinc hydroxide. It's an insoluble hydroxide that dissolves when exposed to a strong acid. It occurs naturally as the rare minerals Wulfingite, ashoverite and sweetite. Zinc hydroxide is used as a biological absorbant often.
