1) Zn(CH₃COO)₂(s) + 2KOH(aq) = Zn(OH)₂(s) + 2CH₃COOK(aq)
Ksp{Zn(OH)₂}=1.2*10⁻¹⁷
2) Zn(CH₃COO)₂(s) + 2NaCN(aq) = Zn(CN)₂(s) + 2CH₃COONa(aq)
Ksp{Zn(CN)₂}=2.6*10⁻¹³
Ksp{Zn(OH)₂}<Ksp{Zn(CN)₂}
Zn(OH)₂ precipitates first

Decomposer, decomposers include fungous, bacteria, worms. They break down trash and bad things and concert it to soil.
In the physical properties, it is mentioned that the element has 4 valence electrons. The elements in the periodic table are arranged such that, the number of valence electrons present in the neutral atoms belonging to a particular group is equal to the group number.
Thus, the unidentified element can be best classified as a nonmetal in period 4
