What is hardy schulze rule

Answer: The Hardy-Schulze rule states that a precipitate ion’s coagulation power increases as its valency increases. For instance, Al3+>Ba2+>Na+ is the coagulation power series of Al3+,Na+, and Ba2+.

  • The electrolyte ions that are most effective in causing coagulation are those that have a charge opposite that of the colloidal particles. Coagulating ions are the ions that cause blood to clot.
  • The higher the valency of the coagulating or Flocculating ion, the more powerful it is in causing coagulation.
  • The ability to generate precipitation increases as the concentration of Al3+,Na+, and Ba2+rises.
