When a dilute \(\mathrm{AgNO}_3\) solution is mixed with excess of dilute \(\mathrm{KI}\), the colloidal solution formed is

  1. A \(\mathrm{AgNO}_3 / \mathrm{I}^{-}\)
  2. B Agl
  3. C \(\mathrm{Agl} / \mathrm{Ag}^{+}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Agl} / \mathrm{I}^{-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{Agl} / \mathrm{I}^{-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When dilute aqueous solution of \(\mathrm{AgNO}_3\) is added to dilute solution of \(\mathrm{KI}\) (excess) a negatively charged sol of AgI is formed due to the preferential adsorption of \(\mathrm{I}^{-}\)ions from the dispersion medium.
