Explanation of Hardy Schulze Rule ?
Hello,
Hardy Schulze Rule tells that the required amount of electrolyte for the coagulation of a definite quantity of colloidal solution is dependent on the valency of the coagulating ion (which holds a charge that is opposite to the charge of colloidal particles) .
The ions of the electrolyte that are effective in coagulation are ones that can carry charge which is opposite to the particles . these are flocculating ions or coagulating ions . The greater is the valency of these ions , greater is the power to start the coagulation .
Hope this helps you !
Hardy Schulze Rules are as follows
- Ions having opposite charge to the charge on colloid coagulate sol
- Higher the charge on coagulating ion, higher is the coagulation power
- Coagulation power of electrolyte is directly proportional to the 6th power of the charge of coagulating ion.
