    When dilute aqueous solution of \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\](excess) is added to KI solution, positively charged sol of \[AgI\] is formed due to adsorption of

    A)  \[NO_{3}^{-}\]                

    B)  \[O_{2}^{-}\]

    C)  \[A{{g}^{+}}\]                                  

    D)  \[{{K}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Key Idea Colloidal particles are either positively charged or negatively charged. This charge is due to preferential adsorption of either positive or negative ions on their surface. There is adsorption of common ion present in excess. When aqueous solution of \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\] is added to KI solution, positively charged sol of \[AgI\]is obtained due to the adsorption of \[A{{g}^{+}}\] ions on \[Agl\] molecules. \[\underset{excess}{\mathop{AgN{{O}_{3}}}}\,+KI\xrightarrow{{}}AgI+KN{{O}_{3}}\] \[AgI+AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,fixed\text{ }part \\  positive\text{ }sol \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{[AgI]\,A{{g}^{+}}}}\,\,\,\,\,:\,\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  diffused \\  part \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{NO_{3}^{-}}}\,\]
