Solution
The correct options are ANH4Cl B dilute H2SO4 (not in excess) DCO2 gas The equilibrium will be shifted towards right in presence of ammonium chloride,dilute sulphuric acid and carbondioxide gas.The reagent which will reduce the hydroxyl ion concentration sufficiently cause the reaction to proceed from right to left with the consequent precipitation of Al(OH)3. [Al(OH)4]−+NH+4→Al(OH)3↓+NH3+H2O [Al(OH)4]−+H+→Al(OH)3↓+H2O 2Na[Al(OH)4]−+H+→Al(OH)3↓+H2O But the equilibrium will be shifted in reverse direction in presence of of sodium hydroxide as their will be increase in concentration of hydroxyl ions.
