प्रश्न

How will you distinguish between Ammonium hydroxide and Sodium hydroxide using copper sulphate solution?

Advertisements

उत्तर

Ammonium hydroxide when added to copper sulphate drop-wise forms a pale blue ppt. of copper hydroxide which dissolves in excess of ammonium hydroxide to form a deep blue solution of tetrammine copper sulphate.

CuSO4  +  2NH4OH    Cu OH2          +     NH4 2SO4

                                                pale blue ppt         colourless in solution

With excess of NH OH ppt. dissolves

Cu OH2  +  NH4 2SO4 + 2NH4OH  |Cu NH3 4|SO4  + 4H2O

                                                                             Tetrammine

                                                                       Copper II sulphate

Sodium hydroxide when added to copper sulphate drop-wise forms a pale blue ppt. of copper hydroxide which is insoluble in excess of sodium hydroxide solution.

CuSO4  +  2NaOH    Cu OH2          +     Na2SO4

                                                pale blue ppt         colourless
