Why is `CaSO_(4)` not precipitated on adding ammonium sulphate to a solution containing `Ca^(2+)` and `Sr^(2+)` ions?

Answer» `CaSO_(4)` is not precipitated due to the formation of a complex with `(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)`
`(CH_(3)COO)_(2)Ca+(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)toCaSO_(4)+2CH_(3)COONH_(4)`
`CaSO_(4)+(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)tounderset(("soluble complex"))((NH_(4))_(2))[Ca(SO_(4))_(2)]`
