The coagulation values (in mmol per litre of sol) for an AsX2SX3 sol are NaCl = 51, BaClX2 = 0.69 and AlClX3 = 0.093. Which electrolyte has the greatest coagulating power, and about how many times greater is it than that of NaCl?
AAlClX3; about 550 times
BBaClX2; about 74 times
CAlClX3; about 0.0018 times
DNaCl; about 550 times
Answer: A
Coagulating power is inversely proportional to the coagulation value. The smallest value, 0.093, belongs to AlClX3. The ratio of powers is 51/0.093=548, which is about 550.
