Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Sol obtained is a negative sol with \(\mathrm{I}^{-}{ }^{-}\)adsorbed on AgI.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Whenever a sol of silver iodide is prepared by mixing equal volumes of \(0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\) and \(0.2\) \(\mathrm{M} \mathrm{KI}\), the sol will be a negative sol with \(\mathrm{I}^{-}\) adsorbed on AgI. The reaction will be.
\(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}+\mathrm{KI} \longrightarrow \mathrm{AgI}+\mathrm{KNO}_{3}\)
Here, molarity of \(\mathrm{KI}\) is more than that of \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\) and hence, \(\mathrm{I}^{-}\)will be adsorbed on AgI to produce a negative sol.
