(b) When we add NH base 4CI, it suppresses the ionization of NH base 4OH and prevents the precipitation of higher group hydroxide in gp (III).

NOTE : Further ferric chloride and chromium chloride form different colour precipitates with NH base 4OH.

FeCI base 3 + 3NH base 4OH ? Fe(OH) base 3 ? + 3NH base 4CI

Reddish brown

CrCI base 3 + 3NH base 4OH ? Cr(OH) base 3 + 3NH base 4CI
