The coagulation values (in mmol per litre of sol) for an sol are = 51, = 0.69 and = 0.093. Which electrolyte has the greatest coagulating power, and about how many times greater is it than that of ?

  1. A; about 550 times
  2. B; about 74 times
  3. C; about 0.0018 times
  4. D; about 550 times

Answer: A

Coagulating power is inversely proportional to the coagulation value. The smallest value, 0.093, belongs to . The ratio of powers is , which is about 550.
