Q)

SnO2 forms a positively charged colloidal Sol in the basic medium why ?

(a) SnO2 is amphoteric in nature. It reacts with acid eg HCl to form SnCl4 in the solution . The common Sn4+ ions are adsorbed on the surface of SnO2 particles giving the, a positive charge(b) SnO2 reacts with a base eg. NaOH to form sodium stannate in the solution.The stannate ions are adsorbed on the surface of SnO2 particles giving them a Positive charge .(c) SnO2 reacts with a base eg. HCl to form sodium stannate in the solution.The stannate ions are adsorbed on the surface of SnO4 particles giving them a positive charge .(d) None of the above
