A freshly prepared Fe(OH)3\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_3 precipitate is peptised by adding FeCl3\mathrm{FeCl}_3 solution. The charge on the colloidal particles is due to the preferential adsorption of :
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Fe+3\mathrm{Fe}^{+3} ions
Option B is correct because during peptization of Fe(OH)3\mathrm{Fe(OH)}_3 with FeCl3\mathrm{FeCl}_3, the Fe3+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} ions are preferentially adsorbed onto the precipitate, giving the colloidal particles a positive charge.
