Solution
The correct option is C[SnO2]SnO2−3;2Na⊕ A freshly formed precipitate of SnO2 is peptized by a small amount
of NaOH. These colloidal particles may be represented as :
[SnO2]SnO2−3;2Na⊕
SnO2 adsorbes negatively charged SnO2−3 ions and is surrounded by Na+ ions which maintains electrical neutrality.
