MCQ
The only cations present in a slightly acidic solutions are $Fe^{3+},\,Zn^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$. The reagent that when added in excess to this solution would identify and separate $Fe^{3+}$ in one step is
  • A
    $2\,M\,HCl$
  • $6\,M\,NH_3$
  • C
    $6\,M\,NaOH$
  • D
    $H_2S$ gas

Answer

Correct option: B.
$6\,M\,NH_3$
b
$Fe^{3+}$ does not form complex compound with $NH_3$ whereas $Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ form complex with $NH_3$.
