Which of the following is the most effective in causing coagulation of ferric hydroxide solution?
Options
- AKCl
- BKNO₃
- CK₂SO₄
- DK ₃ [ Fe ( CN )₆ ]
Correct answer
D. K ₃ [ Fe ( CN )₆ ]
Step-by-step solution
Ferric hydroxide solution, is a negatively charged sol. aligned & KCl K ⁺+ Cl ⁻ & KNO ₃ K ⁺+ NO ₃⁻ & K ₂ SO ₄ 2 ~K ⁺+ NO ₄²⁻ & K ₃ [ Fe ( CN )₆ ] 3 ~K ⁻+ [ Fe ( CN )₆ ]³⁻ aligned Hence, K ₃ [ Fe ( CN )₆ ] will be most effective in causing coagulation of ferric hydroxide solution.
