Solution
The correct option is C Reason is correct but Assertion is incorrect Presence of NH4Cl suppresses the dissociation of NH4OH, hence concentration of OH− is reduced to minimum.
So addition of NH4OH to an aqueous solution of BaCl2 in the presence of NH4Cl (excess) does not precipitate Ba(OH)2.
