Question
State the observations you would make on adding ammonium hydroxide to aqueous solution of (i) Ferrous sulphate (ii) Aluminium chloride?

Answer

i. When Ammonium Hydroxide is added to the Ferrous Sulphate solution then a dirty green ppt. of Ferrous Hydroxide is formed with Ammonium Sulphate by Double Displacement reaction.
$2 \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{FeSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}(\mathrm{ppt})+\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right)_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})$
ii. When Ammonium Hydroxide is added to Aluminium Cholride then a white ppt. of Aluminium Hydroxide is formed with Ammonium Choride by Double Displacement Reaction.
$3 \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{AlCl}_{3}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}(\mathrm{ppt})+3 \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{aq})$
