Solution
If FeCl3 is added to NaOH, a negatively charged sol is obtained with adsorption of OH- ions. Sol is represented as Fe2O3.xH2O/OH- (negatively charged).

Assertion: Coagulation power of Al3+ is more than Na+.
Reason: Greater the valency of the flocculating ion added, greater is its power to cause precipitation (Hardy Schulze rule).
The conditions given below are in the context of observing Tyndall effect in colloidal solutions:
- The diameter of the colloidal particles is comparable to the wavelength of light used.
- The diameter of the colloidal particles is much smaller than the wavelength of light used.
- The diameter of the colloidal particles is much larger than the wavelength of light used.
- The refractive indices of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium are comparable.
