Solution

The correct option is D 25
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.
