Vedclass · Answer

(B) Concentrated aqueous $NaOH$ is a strong base that reacts with amphoteric metal ions to form soluble complexes or salts,while it does not react with non-amphoteric metal ions like $Fe^{3+}$,which precipitate as hydroxides.$Al^{3+}$ is amphoteric and reacts with $NaOH$ to form soluble sodium meta-aluminate ($NaAlO_2$ or $Na[Al(OH)_4]$).$Fe^{3+}$ is not amphoteric and forms an insoluble brown precipitate of ferric hydroxide $(Fe(OH)_3)$ in the presence of $NaOH$.Therefore,$NaOH$ can be used to separate $Al^{3+}$ from $Fe^{3+}$.
