Question

The coagulation values in millimoles per litre of the electrolytes used for the coagulation of $As_2S_3$ are given below :
I. $(NaCl) = 52$ ,
II. $(BaCl_2) = 0.69$ ,
III. $(MgSO_4) = 0.22$
The correct order of the their coagulating power is

A

I > II > III

B

II > I > III

C

III > II > I

D

III > I > II

Answer

III > II > I

Explanation

Solution

There is an inverse relation between the coagulation power and coagulation value. Coagulation is the process of clumping or aggregation of the particles to form a solid or semi solid mass. So, according to the question the coagulation value of the substances are:

I. NaCl= 52

II. BaCl2= 0.69

III. MgSO4= 0.22

Therefore, the coagulating power is in the order III> II> I
