    When an excess and a very dilute aqueous solution of\[KI\]is added to a very dilute aqueous solution of silver nitrate, the colloidal particles of silver iodide are associated with the Helmholtz double layer

    A) \[AgI:\text{ }A{{g}^{+}}:NO_{3}^{-}\]    

    B) \[AgI:{{K}^{+}}:NO_{3}^{-}\]

    C)  \[AgI:\text{ }NO_{3}^{-}:A{{g}^{+}}\]   

    D) \[AgI:{{I}^{-}}:{{K}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     The Helmholtz double layer contains a layer of opposite charges on the surface of colloidal particles.    \[AgN{{O}_{3}}+\underset{excess}{\mathop{KI}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}AgI+KN{{O}_{3}}\]        \[AgI+KI\xrightarrow{{}}AgI:{{I}^{-}}:{{K}^{+}}\]
