Answer
(a) On strong heating, ammonium chloride sublimes to form dense white fumes which condense to white powdery substance on cooler parts of the test tube whereas no white fumes are seen on heating sodium chloride. Hence, the two can be distinguished.
NH4Cl NH3 + HCl
(b) On reaction with ammonium hydroxide, ferrous salt forms a dirty green ppt whereas ferric salt forms a reddish brown ppt. Hence, the two can be distinguished easily.
