Q80 / 200 · NEET 2022 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

Given below are two statements :
Statement I :
In the coagulation of a negative sol, the flocculating power of the three given ions is in the order -
Al3+>Ba2+>Na+
Statement II :
In the coagulation of a positive sol, the flocculating power of the three given salts is in the order -
NaCl>Na2SO4>Na3PO4
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
  • Correct answer
    B
    Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
  • C
    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
  • D
    Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

Solution

The flocculating power of an ion is directly proportional to its charge present. So flocculating power of

Al3+>Ba2+>Na+

and similarly flocculating power of

PO43->SO42->Cl-

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
