Give examples of what a salt should look like so that with the smallest possible addition of the salt (in moles), you will get: (i) a dispersion of an anionic colloid to aggregate. (II) a dispersion of a cationic colloid to aggregate.

Step 1
This is because the anionic colloid particles are negatively charged, and a highly charged cation will neutralize the charge more effectively, leading to aggregation. Show more…

(A): A colloid gets coagulated by addition of an electrolyte. (R): The rate of coagulation depends on the magnitude and sign of the charge of the coagulant ion.
Which of the following ions has the least flocculation value? (a) $\mathrm{PO}_{4}^{3}$ (b) $\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}$ (c) $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{4}$ (d) $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$
