AI Generated Solution

To understand why an aqueous solution of Mohr's salt can give a precipitate with NaOH or NH4OH, while potassium ferrocyanide cannot, we need to analyze the nature of these compounds and their reactions with bases. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Mohr's Salt**: - Mohr's salt is a double salt with the formula \( (NH_4)_2Fe(SO_4)_2 \cdot 6H_2O \). It consists of two different cations: ammonium \( (NH_4^+) \) and ferrous \( (Fe^{2+}) \). 2. **Reactions with Bases**: ...
