Why in Group V of qualitative analysis, sufficient `NH_(4)OH` solution should be added before adding `(NH_(4))_(2)CO_(3)` solution ?

Answer» This is done to convert `NH_(4)HCO_(3)` usually present in large amounts along with `(NH_(4))_(2)CO_(3) ` to `(NH_(4))_(2)CO_(3)`
`NH_(4)HCO_(3)+NH_(4)OH rarr (NH_(4))_(2)CO_(3)+H_(2)O`
