Solution
NH4Cl is added along with NH4OH in group III to decrease concentration of hydroxide. ion. NH4Cl decreases ionisation of NH4OH by common ion effect. The solubility product of group III radicals is less than that of group IV and group VI hydroxides. Hence, when the ionization of ammonium hydroxide is suppressed, only the group III radicals are precipitated.
