JEE Advance - Chemistry (2009 - Paper 1 Offline - No. 4)

Among the electrolytes Na$$_2$$SO$$_4$$, CaCl$$_2$$, Al$$_2$$(SO$$_4$$)$$_3$$ and NH$$_4$$Cl, the most effective coagulating agent for Sb$$_2$$S$$_3$$ sol is
Na$$_2$$SO$$_4$$
CaCl$$_2$$
Al$$_2$$(SO$$_4$$)$$_3$$
NH$$_4$$Cl

Explanation

As Sb$$_2$$S$$_3$$ is a negative sol, so, Al$$_2$$(SO$$_4$$)$$_3$$ will be the most effective coagulant due to higher charge density on Al$$^{3+}$$ in accordance with Hardy-Schulze rule.

Order of effectiveness of cations: Al$$^{3+}$$ > Ca$$^{2+}$$ > Na$$^{+}$$ > NH$$^{+}_{4}$$
