  • To coagulate negative sol of As2​S3, the coagulation power of different cations decrease in the order Al3+>Mg2+>K+>Na+
    hence, the flocculation value increases in the order Al3+<Mg2+<K+<Na+
    The flocculating values (in milli moles/litre) of Al3+>Mg2+>K+>Na+ are 0.093, 0.72, 50 and 51 respectively.
    Thus, Al2​(SO4​)3​ is the most effective in coagulating the sol.
