Solution

The correct option is D colloidal sol of gold
Purple of Cassius is a purple pigment formed by the reaction of gold salts with tin(II) chloride. It has been used to impart glass with a red colouration (see cranberry glass), as well as to determine the presence of gold as a chemical test.
It is a colloidal sol of gold.

Hence, option A is correct.

Q. Assertion :The colour of purple of cassius or gold sol in water changes from red to blue on keeping for sometime. Reason: The size and shape sol particles changes with time.

Q. Lyophilic colloidal sols are much more stable than lyophobic colloidal sols. This is due to the extensive solvation of lyophilic colloidal sols, which form a protective layer outside it which prevents it from forming associated colloids. Lyophilic colloidal sols also protect lyophobic colloidal sols from precipitation by the action of electrolytes. This is due to the formation of a protective layer by the lyophilic sols outside lyophobic sols. Lyophilic sols are also called protective sols.
Gelatin (lyophilic) protects gold sol (lyophobic) from coagulation on the addition of a solution of sodium chloride. The protective powers of different colloidal sols are measured in terms of gold number.
Gold number is defined as the amount of protective sol in milligrams that prevents the coagulation of 10 mL of a given gold sol on adding 1 mL of a

solution of sodium chloride. Thus, the smaller the gold number of a lyophilic sol, the greater is the protective power.
