water is: C — OCH2CH3
(3)
(1) Sometimes positive and sometimes
negative HO
(2) Negative
CH2 OH
(3) Neutral
(4)
(4) Positive CH3O
Answer (4)
Answer (1)
Sol. Some FeCl3/Fe3+ will get hydrolyzed and form
Fe(OH) 3 . Over which some Fe 3+ will get CH2 OH
adsorbed. So the resulting charge on colloidal CHO –
particle will be positive. HCHO, OH –
