Question:

5.0 mL of [AgI] / Ag$^+$ sol is coagulated by the addition of 15 mL of 0.001 M potassium iodide solution. The flocculation value of potassium iodide is

Show Hint

Use the formula: Flocculation value = (millimoles of electrolyte added)/(volume of sol in mL).

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Flocculation value = $\dfrac{\text{millimoles of electrolyte}}{\text{volume of sol in mL}}$
Millimoles of KI = $15 \times 0.001 = 0.015$ mmol
Flocculation value = $\dfrac{0.015}{5} = 0.003$ mol/L or 3 mmol/L
