100 ml Fe(OH)3 is coagulated by 10 ml 1N Na2SO4. Then what will be coagulation value of Na2SO4?
(1) 5
(2) 10
(3) 50
(4) 100

Dear student,

Coagulation value is the minimum millimoles of the electrolyte that brings about the coagulation in 1 litre of the colloidal solution.
Molarity of Na2SO4 solution=NormalityValency=12=0.5M0.5M solution of Na2SO4 contains 0.5 moles of Na2SO4  in 1000 ml of solution0.5 moles is equal to 500 millimoles of Na2SO4.500 millimoles of Na2SO4 is present in 1000 ml of solution.Thus, 5 millimoles of Na2SO4 is present in 10 ml of solution.10 ml of solution coagulates 100 ml of FeOH3 solution.Therefore, 100 ml of Na2SO4 solution coagulates 1000 ml of FeOH3 solution.Therefore, 5×10=50 millimoles of Na2SO4 coagulates 1000 ml of FeOH3 solution.The correct option is (3).Regards
