Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Al}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Hardy-Scheulze rule, the coagulating power of an electrolyte will be higher for ionic components having greater charges or valencies. For coagulating a sol of a particular charge, we add particles of opposite charge. Thus, to coagulate antimony sulphide sol which is…
