Question
Chemistry Question on Equilibrium
How do we differentiate between Fe3+ and Cr3+ in group III ?
A
By taking excess of NH4OH
B
By increasing NH4+ ion concentration
C
By decreasing OH− ion concentration
D
Both (B) and (C)
Answer
Both (B) and (C)
Explanation
Solution
In a group III of analysis, addition of NH4Cl increases NH4+ ion concentration and decreases OH− ion concentration produced from NH4OH due to common ion effect
