Question : 2 of 43
Marks: +1, -0
FeSO4 solution mixed with (NH4)2SO4 solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe2+ ion but CuSO4 solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu2+ ion. Explain why?
Solution:  
FeSO4 solution when mixed with (NH4)2SO4 solution in 1:1 molarratio forms a double salt FeSO4â‹…(NH4)2SO4â‹…6H2O which when dissolvedin water dissociates into simple ions to give tests for its constituent ions.When CuSO4 is mixed with aqueous ammonia a complex ion [Cu(NH3)4]2+is formed which does not give Cu2+ in the solution.
