Which will not be precipitated after addition of (NH4)2CO3 in presence...
When (NH4)2CO3 is added to salt solution containing NH4Cl and NH4OH, the carbonates of Ba2+, Sr2+ and Ca2+ are precipitated:
BaCl2+(NH4)2CO3 → BaCO3↓+ 2NH4Cl
SrCl2+(NH4)2CO3 → SrCO3↓+ 2NH4Cl
CaCl2+(NH4)2CO3 → CaCO3↓+ 2NH4Cl

Which will not be precipitated after addition of (NH4)2CO3 in presence...
Explanation:
When (NH4)2CO3 is added in the presence of NH4Cl, the following reactions occur:
1. Formation of NH4OH:
(NH4)2CO3 + 2NH4Cl → 2NH4OH + CO2 + 2NH4Cl
2. Formation of Carbonate Complex:
Mg2+ + CO32- → MgCO3 (insoluble)
Ba2+ + CO32- → BaCO3 (insoluble)
Ca2+ + CO32- → CaCO3 (insoluble)
Sr2+ + CO32- → SrCO3 (insoluble)
Explanation for each option:
1. Mg:
- When (NH4)2CO3 is added, Mg2+ reacts with CO32- to form MgCO3.
- MgCO3 is insoluble and will be precipitated.
- Therefore, Mg will be precipitated.
2. Ba:
- When (NH4)2CO3 is added, Ba2+ reacts with CO32- to form BaCO3.
- BaCO3 is insoluble and will be precipitated.
- Therefore, Ba will be precipitated.
3. Ca:
- When (NH4)2CO3 is added, Ca2+ reacts with CO32- to form CaCO3.
- CaCO3 is insoluble and will be precipitated.
- Therefore, Ca will be precipitated.
4. Sr:
- When (NH4)2CO3 is added, Sr2+ reacts with CO32- to form SrCO3.
- SrCO3 is insoluble and will be precipitated.
- Therefore, Sr will be precipitated.
Conclusion:
All the options mentioned (Mg, Ba, Ca, and Sr) will be precipitated when (NH4)2CO3 is added in the presence of NH4Cl.
