To distinguish between sodium sulfate and ammonium sulfate, you can add barium chloride (BaCl₂) solution to the samples. Sodium sulfate will not produce any precipitate, while ammonium sulfate will give a white precipitate of barium sulfate (BaSO₄). For differentiating ferric salt from ferrous salt, adding potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) to a ferric salt solution will produce a blood-red complex (ferric thiocyanate), while ferrous salt will not produce this color change.
