While preparing crystals of Mohr's salt, dil (\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4) is added to a mixture of ferrous sulphate and ammonium sulphate, before dissolving this mixture in water, dil (\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4) is added here to :
Options
- Aprevent the hydrolysis of ferrous sulphate
- Bprevent the hydrolysis of ammonium sulphate
- Cmake the medium strongly acidic
- Dincrease the rate of formation of crystals
Correct answer
A. prevent the hydrolysis of ferrous sulphate
Step-by-step solution
ions undergoes hydrolysis, therefore while preparing aqueous solution of ferrous sulphate and ammonium sulphate in water dilute sulphuric acid is added to prevent hydrolysis of ferrous sulphate.
