The coagulating power of an electrolyte for arsenious sulphide decrease in order

  • A
    $\mathrm{Na}^{+}\gt\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\gt\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{PO}_4^{3-}\gt\mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}\gt\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\gt\mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}\gt\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\gt\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}\gt\mathrm{Na}^{+}$

Solution

Coagulating power of an electrolyte for arsenious sulphide decreases as $\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\gt\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}\gt\mathrm{Na}^{+}$

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