Solution

The correct option is C Al2(SO4)3
Hardy- Schulze Law states that greater the valency of the active ion, greater is the power to cause coagulation. Active ion is responsible for coagulation.

In the case of negatively charged sols (As2S3 is a negative sol), the coagulation power is in order of Al+3>Ca+2>Na+.

Hence, the most effective coagulating agent for Sb2S3 is Al2(SO4)3.
