Solution
The correct option is D25 The gold number according to Zsigmondy may be defined as the number of milligrams of the protective colloid which must be added to 10 cc of a given gold sol so as to just prevent its precipitation by addition of 1 cc of 10%NaCl solution. Here, 0.025 g means 25 mg. Therefore, gold number is 25.
