    100 mL of a colloidal solution is completely precipitated by addition of 5 mL of 1 M NaCI solution. What is the coagulation value of NaCI?                  

    A) 50             

    B) 40          

    C) 30     

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Coagulation value is the millimoles of an electrolyte that must be added to 1 L of a colloidal solution for complete coagulation. \[\therefore \] 5 mL of 1 M \[NaCl=\frac{1}{1000}\times 5\]                 \[=0.005\,\]or\[~5\text{ }mmol.\] 100 mL of a colloidal solution require NaCI for complete coagulation \[=\text{ }5\text{ }mmol\] \[\therefore \]1 L of colloidal solution require \[NaCl\] for complete coagulation \[=50\text{ }mmol\] \[\therefore \] Coagulation value of \[NaCl=50\]
