In the analysis of III group basic radicals of salts, the purpose of adding \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl}(s)\) to \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}\) is

  1. A to increase the concentration of \(\mathrm{OH}^{-}\)ions
  2. B to precipitate the radicals of group IV and V
  3. C to suppress the dissociation of \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}\)
  4. D to introduce \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)ions
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) to suppress the dissociation of \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the analysis of III group basic radicals of salts, the purpose of adding \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl}(s)\) to \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}\) is, to suppress the dissociation of \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}\) due to the common ion effect.
