    Ferric hydroxide sol is more readily coagulated by Na3P04 in comparison to \[KCl\]. Why?

    Answer:

                    Ferric hydroxide sol is positively charged and to cause its coagulation, ions carrying negative charge are needed. Since \[PO_{4}^{3-}\] ions have higher negative charge than \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ions therefore, \[N{{a}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}\] coagulates the ferric hydroxide sol most efficiently. This is according to Hardy-Schulze law. For details, consult Section 5.23.
