Explanation:

The powder is:- Ammonium chloride

When mixed with silver nitrate, white prescipitate of silver chloride is formed as:-

NH_4Cl+AgNO_3\rightarrow NH_4NO_3+AgCl

When mixed with sodium hydroxide, ammonia gas is formed which has noxious order.

NH_4Cl +NaOH\rightarrow NH_3 + H_2O + NaCl

Ammonia gas on reaction with nickel (II) hydroxide forms deep blue colored complex as shown below:-

Ni(OH)_2(s) + 6NH_3(aq)\rightarrow [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}(aq) + 2OH^{-}(aq)
