Can we add `NH_(4)OH` first and `NH_(4)Cl` later in the analysis of group III cations?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, the functions of `NH_(4)Cl` is to suppress ionisation of `NH_(4)OH,Mn(OH)_(2)` etc, in case `NH_(4)OH` is addd first these hydroxides will be immediately precipitated addition of `NH_(4)Cl` afterwards will be of no use.
