    The best coagulant for the precipitation of  \[\text{Fe(OH}{{\text{)}}_{\text{3}}}\]is

    A)  \[N{{a}_{2}}HP{{O}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[NaN{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[N{{a}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}\]

    D)  \[N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[\text{Fe(OH}{{\text{)}}_{\text{3}}}\]is a positive sol hence the best coagulant for the precipitation of \[\text{Fe(OH}{{\text{)}}_{\text{3}}}\]is \[\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{3}}}\text{P}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\text{.}\]The precipitating effect of an ion on dispersed phase of opposite charge increases with the valence of the ions.
