Four sols are available: P (), Q (), R (gold) and S (). Which of the following pairs, when mixed in suitable proportions, show mutual coagulation?

  1. AP and Q
  2. BR and S
  3. CP and R
  4. DQ and S

Answer: A, B

and gold sols are negative, while and sols are positive. Mutual coagulation needs oppositely charged sols, giving P+Q and R+S. P+R are both negative and Q+S both positive, so there is no mutual coagulation.
