    Gold number is highest for which of the following lyophilic sol?

    A)  Gelatin        

    B)  Haemoglobin

    C)  Sodium oleate 

    D)  Potato starch

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Gold number of protective colloid is the minimum weight of it in milligram which must be added to 10 mL of a standard gold sol. So that no coagulation of the gold sol takes place when 1 mL of 10% sodium chloride solution is rapidly added to it. Smaller the gold number greater will be protective power. \[\because \] Gold number of gelatin is least. \[\therefore \] Its protecting power is maximum. Among the given choices potato starch has maximum gold number.
