When a dilute $\mathrm{AgNO}_3$ solution is mixed with excess of dilute $\mathrm{KI}$, the colloidal solution formed is
  1. $\mathrm{AgNO}_3 / \mathrm{I}^{-}$
  2. Agl
  3. $\mathrm{Agl} / \mathrm{Ag}^{+}$
  4. $\mathrm{Agl} / \mathrm{I}^{-}$

Solution

When dilute aqueous solution of $\mathrm{AgNO}_3$ is added to dilute solution of $\mathrm{KI}$ (excess) a negatively charged sol of AgI is formed due to the preferential adsorption of $\mathrm{I}^{-}$ions from the dispersion medium.
