NEET 2018 Chemistry question

Not in JEE Main or NEET syllabus

On which of the following properties does the coagulating power of an ion depend?

(1)Both magnitude and sign of the charge on the ionCorrect
(2)Size of the ion alone
(3)The magnitude of the charge on the ion alone
(4)The sign of charge on the ion alone

Answer: (1)

Solution

By the Hardy-Schulze rule, coagulation of a colloidal sol is caused by the ion of the added electrolyte that carries a charge opposite to that of the colloidal particles (the sign decides which ion is effective), and the coagulating power increases with the magnitude of the
