Chemistry Question on Colloids

For the coagulation of positively charged hydrated ferric-oxide sol, the flocculating power of the ions is in the order :

A

PO43>SO42>Cl>[Fe(CN)6]4PO_4^{3-}\gt SO_4^{2-}\gt Cl^{-}\gt[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}

B

Cl>SO42>PO43>[Fe(CN)6]4Cl^{-}\gt SO_4^{2-}\gt PO_4^{3-}\gt[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}

C

SO42=Cl=PO43=[Fe(CN)6]4SO_4^{2-}= Cl^{-}= PO_4^{3-}=[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}

D

[Fe(CN)6]4>PO43>SO42>Cl[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}\gt PO_4^{3-}\gt SO_4^{2-}\gt Cl^{-}

Answer

[Fe(CN)6]4>PO43>SO42>Cl[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}\gt PO_4^{3-}\gt SO_4^{2-}\gt Cl^{-}

Explanation

Solution

The correct answer is Option (D) : [Fe(CN)6]4>PO43>SO42>Cl[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}\gt PO_4^{3-}\gt SO_4^{2-}\gt Cl^{-}
