Q. The ratio of the number of moles of $AgNO_3$, $Pb(NO_3)_2$ and $Fe(NO_3)_3$ required for coagulation of a definite amount of a colloidal sol of silver iodide prepared by mixing $AgNO_3$ with excess of $KI$ will be

Surface Chemistry

Solution:

With excess of $KI$, colloidal particles will be $[AgI]I^-$

$\therefore \quad$ Molar ratio required for coagulation of same amount of $\left[AgI\right]I^{-}$ is $= 1 : \frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{3} = 6 : 3 : 2$
