The disperse phase in colloidal iron (III) hydroxide and colloidal gold is positively and negatively charged, respectively. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
Options
- AMagnesium chloride solution coagulates, the gold solution more readily than the iron (III) hydroxide solution
- BSodium sulphate solution causes coagulation in both the solutions
- CMixing of the solutions has no effect
- DCoagulation in both solutions can be brought about by electrophoresis
Correct answer
C. Mixing of the solutions has no effect
Step-by-step solution
Opposite charges attract each other. Hence on mixing, coagulation of two solutions may take place.
