Q27 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (05 Aug Shift 1) · Chemistry

The most effective coagulating agent among the options for Sb2S3 sol is

  • A
    Na2SO4
  • Correct answer
    B
    Al2SO43
  • C
    CaCl2
  • D
    NH4Cl

Solution

Sb2S3 sol is negatively charged sol. 

Hardy schulze rule states that greater is the valency of of oppositely charged ion of the electrolyte being added, Faster is coagulation. The principle is electrostatic forces of attraction. Greater the valency of flocculating ion, greater is the coagulation power.

Coagulation power:

Al3+>Ca2+>Na+>NH4+

So, Al2SO43 is the most effective coagulating agent.

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