Answer» The SOLUBILITY product of hydroxides of cations of group III is extremely low. `NH_(4)Cl` suppressess the ionisation of `NH_(4)OH` to a GREAT extent due to common ion EFFECT. As a result low concentration of `OH^(ɵ)` is made AVAILABLE for precipitating group III cation hydroxides.
Solution :Why do we ADD excess of `NH_(4)Cl` and `NH_(4)OH` in the precipitation of group III cations.?
