Can we use `NaCO_(3)` in place of `(NH_(4))_(2)CO_(3)` in group V?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. `(NH_(4))_(2)CO_(3)` is a weak electrolyte and its ionisation is suppressed by the presence of `NH_(4)Cl.Na_(2)CO_(3)` is a strong electrolyte and in its solution `[CO_(3)^(2-)]` is pretty high to precipitate even `MgCO_(3)` in the group. V.
