BITSATBITSAT 2015

Solution:

Higher is the charge on cation, higher is the precipitating power. $Fe _{2}\left( SO _{4}\right)_{3}$ will be most effective in precipitating the sulphur sol. Sulphur sol is negatively charged colloid. It will be precipitated by cations. Among the given ionic substances, $Fe ^{3+}$ ion has maximum charge and hence maximum precipitating power.
