Give reason for the following:Zinc is not precipitated as Zn (OH)2 on adding NH4 OH to a zinc salt solution containing NH4Cl.

Answer»

NH4CL suppresses the ionization of NH4OH due to common ion effect. Hence, the concentration of OH- decreases such that the ionic product [Zn2+] [OH-]2 does not exceed solubility product. Hence, Zn()H)2 is not precipitated.
