Question: An unknown solid compound dissolves readily when added to water, forming a solution that conducts electricity. A precipitate forms when Ba(NO 3 ) 2 (aq)

An unknown solid compound dissolves readily when added to water, forming a solution that conducts electricity. A precipitate forms when Ba(NO3)2(aq) is added to a solution of this compound, but not when Cu(NO3)2(aq) is added. When the unknown solid is added to CH3COOH(aq), no gas is produced. When the solid is added to NaOH (aq), a gas with the pungent odor of ammonia is produced. What is the possible identity of the unknown solid?
