Answer
Reagent bottles A and B can identified by using Ca(NO3)2.
When NaOH solution is added to Ca(NO3)2 a white ppt is obtained.
On the other hand, addition of NH4OH solution to Ca(NO3)2 gives no precipitate even when NH4OH solution is added in excess. Thus, Ca(NO3)2 can be used to distinguish between NH4OH and NaOH solution.
