9.12 FeSO4 solution mixed with (NH4)2SO4 solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe2+ ion but CuSO4 solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu2+ ion. Explain why?

The reaction is given below:
FeSO4 + (NH4)2SO4 + 6H2O → FeSO4 (NH4)2SO4.6H2O (Mohr Salt)
FeSO4, when reacted with (NH4)SO4, does not form any complex whereas they form a double salt, FeSO4. (NH4)2SO4.6H2O - (Mohr salt) which dissociates into ions in the solution. So, it gives the test of Fe2+ ions.
CuSO4 + 4NH3 + 5H2O→ [Cu (NH3)4SO4].5H2O
CuSO4 solution when mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1: 4 molar ratio forms a complex with formula [Cu (NH3)]SO4 in which the complex ion, [Cu (NH3)4]2+ does not dissociate to give Cu2+ ions. Therefore, it does not give the tests of the Cu2+ ion.
