Detailed Solution

In order to form a negatively charged colloidal sol on adding AgNO3​ solution into KI solution, KI should be in excess.

From options,

(A) For 100 mL of 0.1 M AgNO3 , no. of millimoles= 100×0.1=10

       For 100 mL of 0.1 M KI, no. of millimoles= 100×0.1=10

       both have same no. of moles, hence it is incorrect

(B) For 100 mL of 0.1 M AgNO3 , no. of millimoles=100×0.1=10

       For  50 mL of 0.2 M KI = 50×0.2=10

      both have same no. of moles, hence it is incorrect

(C) For 100 mL of 0.2 M AgNO3 , no. of millimoles= 100×0.2=20

      For 100 mL of 0.1 M KI, no. of millimoles= 100×0.1=10

       excess of AgNO3 is present, hence it is incorrect

(D) For 100 mL of 0.1 M AgNO3 , no. of millimoles= 100×0.1=10

      For 100 mL of 0.15 M KI, no. of millimoles=100×0.15=15

      Excess of KI is present, hence it is the correct answer.
