Q. A colloidal sol is formed by mixing $AgNO _{3}$ and $KI$ in $2: 1$ molar ratio. This colloidal sol is to be coagulated by
I. $NaI$
II. $MgSO _{4}$
III. $AlPO _{4}$
Molar ratio of these required to coagulate 1 mole of colloidal sol is :

Surface Chemistry

Solution:

Colloidal sol is $[ AgI ] Ag ^{+}$
${[ AgI ] Ag ^{+}+ I ^{-} \longrightarrow 2 AgI }$
$2[ AgI ] Ag ^{+}+ SO _{4}^{2-} \longrightarrow 2 AgI + Ag _{2} SO _{4}$
$3[ AgI ] Ag ^{+}+ PO _{4}^{3-} \longrightarrow Ag _{3} PO _{4}+3 AgI$
thus $1 \,mol [ AgI ] Ag ^{+}$requires -
