Statement-1:Addition of ammonium chloride to a solution containing ferric and magnesium ions is essential for selective precipitation of ferric hydroxide by aqueous ammonia. Statement-2:The function of NH_4Cl is to supress the ionization of NH_4OH by common ion effect and thus prevents the precipitation of Mg(OH)_2 becuause K_(sp) of Mg(OH)_2 is high.
