The charge on `As_(2)S_(3)` sol is due to the adsorbed :

A

`H^(+)`

B

`OH^(-)`

C

`O^(-2)`

D

`S^(-2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`As_(2)S_(3)` colloidal sol is obtained when `As_(2)O_(3)` is saturated with `H_(2)S` :
`As_(2)O_(3) + 3H_(2)S to As_(2)S_(3) + 3H_(2)O`.
`As_(2)S_(3)` adsorbs `S^(2-)` ions )(common between `H_(2)S` and `As_(2)S_(3)` and thus is negatively charged).
`As_(2)S_(3) + H_(2)S to As_(2)S_(3)` `" "S^(2-) : 2H^(+).`

When negatively charged colloids like As_(2)S_(3) sol is added to positively charged Fe(OH)_(3) sol in suitable amounts :

Statements : A yeellow colured As_2S_3 sol on mixing with red colured Fe(OH)_3 sol gives colsurless soltion . Expabnations : The -ve charge os As_2S_3 sol particles is neutralised by + ve charge of Fe(OH)_3 sol particles and thus sols are destabilized and show mutual coagulation .
