Options
- AFeCl 3
- BMg HCO 3 2
- CFeSO 4
- DNaHCO 3
Correct answer
A. FeCl 3
Step-by-step solution
Blood is a negatively charged sol. Blood being a colloidal solution, its coagulation by Hardy-Shuze's law states " Higher the charge on cation higher will be its efficiency to coagulate the colloidal solution" According to Hardy-Schulz's rule, the cation with high charge has high coagulation power. FeCl 3 has Fe + 3 ions.
