MCQ
Ammonium hydroxide solution is added to Iron(III) chloride solution.
  • A
    Reddish Brown Colour precipitate of Zinc hydroxide and NaCl is formed at the product side
  • B
    Zinc Oxide is formed at the product side.
  • C
    Light Brown crystals of Copper hydroxide is formed at the end of product side
  • Ammonium Chloride and white precipitate of Fe(OH)3 is formed at the end of product side.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Ammonium Chloride and white precipitate of Fe(OH)3 is formed at the end of product side.
(d) Ammonium Chloride and white precipitate of Fe(OH)3 is formed at the end of product side
Explanation :
When ammonium hydroxide $\left( NH _4 OH \right)$ solution is added to iron(III) chloride $\left( FeCl _3\right)$ solution, a white precipitate of iron(III) hydroxide $\left( Fe ( OH )_3\right)$ is formed which is insoluble in excess of ammonium hydroxide. The chemical reaction can be represented as :
$\begin{array}{c} FeCl _{3(a q)}+3 NH _4 OH _{(a q)} \longrightarrow Fe ( OH )_{3(s)}+3 NH _4 Cl _{(a q)} \\ \text { Ferric hydroxide } \\ \text { (white ppt.) }\end{array}$
