How do we differentiate between Fe ³⁺ and Cr ³⁺ in group III?
Options
- Aby taking excess of NH ₄ OH solution
- Bby increasing NH ₄ ⁺ ion concentration
- Cby decreasing OH ⁻ ion concentration
- Dboth (b) and (c)
Correct answer
D. both (b) and (c)
Step-by-step solution
NH ₄⁺ ions are increased to suppress release of OH ions, hence solubility product of Fe ( OH )₃ is attained. Colour of precipitate is different.
