The reagent NH ₄ Cl and aqueous NH ₃ will precipitate :
Options
- ACa ²⁺
- BAl ³⁺
- CMg ²⁺
- DZn ²⁺
Correct answer
B. Al ³⁺
Step-by-step solution
NH ₄ Cl and aqueous NH ₃ ( NH ₄ OH ) precipitates basic radicals of 3rd group of qualitative analysis hydroxides of this group have very low value of solubility product. So, this reagent will precipitate Al ³⁺ because the radicals present in 3rd group are Al ³⁺, Cr ³⁺ , and Fe ³⁺ .
