प्रश्न
How will you distinguish NH4OH solution from NaOH solution?
Advertisements
उत्तर
NH4OH and NaOH can be distinguished by using calcium salts.
For example, when NaOH is added to Ca(NO3)2, Ca(OH)2 is obtained as a white precipitate that is sparingly soluble in excess of NaOH.
\[\ce{Ca(NO3)2 + 2NaOH → Ca(OH)2 + 2NaNO3}\]
When NH4OH is added to calcium salts, no precipitation of Ca(OH)2 occurs, even with an excess of NH4OH. This is because the concentration of OH−ions from the ionization of NH4OH is so low that it cannot precipitate the calcium hydroxide.
