As per Hardy-Schulze formulation, the flocculation values of the following for ferric hydroxide sol are in the order :

Answer»

`AlCl_(3) gt K_(2)[Fe(CN)_(6)] gt K_(2)CrO_(4) gt KBr = KNO_(3)`
`K_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)] lt K_(2)CrO_(4) lt AlCl_(3) lt KBrlt KNO_(3)`
`K_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)]ltK_(2)CrO_(4) lt KBr = KNO_(3) = AlCl_(3)`
`K_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)]gtAlCl_(3)gtK_(2)CrO_(4) gt KBr gt KNO_(3)`

Solution :`K_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)]ltK_(2)CrO_(4) lt KBr = KNO_(3) = AlCl_(3)`
The minimum CONCENTRATION of an electrolyte which is required to cause the coagulation or flocculation of a sol is known as flocculation VALUE.
Flocculation value is inversely proportional to coagulation power (coagulation power is directly proportional to the valency of the ions causing coagulation). `Fe(OH)_(3)` sol is a positive sol and THUS we have to consider the valency of the anions in the given electrolytes.
`K_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)]ltK_(2)CrO_(4) lt KBr = KNO_(3) = AlCl_(3)`
