Which of the following electrolytes will have maximum coagulating value for \( \mathrm{Agl} / \mathrm{Ag}^{+} \mathrm{sol} \) ?

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Hardy-Schulze Rule,
The greater the valence, the greater is its power to cause coagulation. \( \mathrm{So}_{4} \mathrm{PO}_{4}{ }^{3-}>\mathrm{SO}_{4}{ }^{2-}>\mathrm{S}^{2-}>\mathrm{Cl}^{-} \)
