Chemistry Question on Equilibrium

How do we differentiate between Fe3+Fe^{3+} and Cr3+Cr^{3+} in group III ?

A

By taking excess of NH4OHNH_4OH

B

By increasing NH4+NH_4^+ ion concentration

C

By decreasing OHOH^- ion concentration

D

Both (B) and (C)

Answer

Both (B) and (C)

Explanation

Solution

In a group III of analysis, addition of NH4ClNH_{4}Cl increases NH4+NH_{4}^{+} ion concentration and decreases OHOH^{-} ion concentration produced from NH4OHNH_{4}OH due to common ion effect
