Answer:
The minimum concentration of an electrolyte in millimoles per litre required to cause coagulation of sol is called its coagulation value of electrolyte for solution.
Explanation:
1. Another name of coagulation value is flocculation value or precipitation value.
2. Flocculation value ∝ 1/Coagulating Power
When electrolyte is having more flocculation value it means coagulating power is less.
3. Coagulating behaviour was discovered by Hardy and Schulze.
4. They made two observations :-
(a) Coagulation of solution happens when the ions carry the opposite charge from the solution particles.
(b) Coagulation power of an electrolyte is proportional to the ion's valency causing coagulation.
