Ferric hydroxide sol is more readily coagulated by `Na_3PO_4` in comparison to KCl.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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 `Cl^–` ions therefore, `Na_3PO_4` coagulates the ferric hydroxide sol most efficiently.
