The coagulation values in millimoles per litre of the electrolytes used for the coagulation of As2S3 are given below : I. (NaCl) = 52, II. (BaCl2) = 0.69, III. (MgSO4) = 0.22 The correct order of their coagulating power is
- I > II > III
- II > I > III
- III > II > I
- III > I > II
Answer
(3) III > II > I
Solution
The minimum concentration of an electrolyte (in millimoles per litre) required to cause coagulation of a sol in two hours is its coagulation value.
Coagulating power 1coagulation value
Coagulation values: III (0.22) < II (0.69) < I (52)
Coagulating power: III > II > I
Answer: (3)
