The correct order of coagulating power of the following ions to coagulate the positive sol is $\underset{\mathrm{I}}{\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{4-},} \underset{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{Cl}^{-}}, \underset{\mathrm{III}}{\mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}}$
  1. I $>$ II $>$ III
  2. III $>$ II $>$ I
  3. I $>$ II $>$ III
  4. I $>$ III $>$ II

Solution

Coagulating power $\propto$ Charge Charge on $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{4-}>\mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}>\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ $\therefore$ Correct order of coagulating power is I $>$ III $>$ II
