Which of the following electrolyte will have maximum flocculation value for \(\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}\) sol??

  1. A \(\mathrm{NaCl}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{~S}\)
  3. C \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right)_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{NaCl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Flocculation value \(\propto \frac{1}{\text { Coagulating power }}\) \(\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})\) is a positively charged sol. For coagulating \(\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}\) negatively charged electrolyte is used and greater the value of -ve charge, coagulating power will be…
