K_(2)SO_(4) solution mixed with Cr_(2)(SO_(4))_(3) solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Cr^(3+) ion but CuSO_(4) solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu^(2+) ion. Explain why ? |

Answer» Solution :`K_(2)SO_(4).Cr_(2)(SO_(4))_(3) overset(aq)iff2K^(+)(aq)+2Cr^(3+)(aq)+4SO_(4)^(2-)` So chrome alum is double SALT. It when dissolved in water gives its constituent IONS. Hence it gives the test of `K^(+),Cr^(3+) and SO_(4)^(2-)` ions. `CuSO_(4).4NH_(3)[CU(NH_(3))_(4)SO_(4) overset(aq)iff[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)(aq)+SO_(4)^(2-)(aq)` As copper (II) is present in coordination SPHERE it will not given the test of `Cu^(2+)` ion. |
