A. A and C only
Step-by-step solution
A double salt is a salt that contains two or more different cations or anions. (A) FeSO 4   +   NH 4 2 SO 4   +   6 H 2 O   →   FeSO 4 · NH 4 2 SO 4 · 6 H 2 O (Mohr's salt) Mohr’s salt called double salt which contains more than one simple salt. It undergoes complete dissociation in aqueous solutions. (B) CuSO 4 · 4 NH 3 · H 2 O Ammonia solution in water gives a blue precipitate when it combines with a solution of copper salt. The pale blue precipita
