  1. A \(\mathrm{KCl}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{AlCl}_3\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{MgSO}_4\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{K}_3 \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{AlCl}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{As}_2 \mathrm{~S}_3\) is a negative sol. It is obvious that cations are effective in coagulating negative sols. According to Hardy Schulze rule, greater the valency of the coagulating ion, greater is its coagulating power. Thus, out of the given,…
