Question

using a sodium hydroxide solution how would you distinguish a ammonium sulphate solution from sodium sulphate solution

Answer 1

Answer:

If you heat ammonium sulphate with calcium oxide, smell of ammonia will come out. If a wet glass road by HCl is hold on the evolved gas, white fumes of NH4Cl will form. But sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) does not respond to above mentioned tests. If flame test is performed with Na2SO4, a golden yellow flame will be observed
