Answer» Correct Answer - B Statement-1 :In the presence of `NH_(4)^(+)` salts, no precipitation of `Mg^(2+)` occurs because the equilibrium `NH_(4)^(+) + CO_(3)^(2-) hArr NH_(3) +HCO_(3)^(-)` is shifted towards the formation of `HCO_(3)^(-)` ions. `K_(sp)` of the precipitate being high (`K_(sp)` of pure `MgCO_(3)` is `1xx10^(-5)`), the concentration of carbonate ions necessary to produce a precipitate is not attained. Statement-2 :`NH_(4)OH` turns red litmus blue.`NH_(4)OH hArr NH_(4)^(+) +OH^(-)` |
