Solution
The correct option is C Mixing of the sols has no effect The disperse phase in colloidal iron hydroxide and colloidal gold is positively and negatively charged respectively. On mixing these two solutions the charge present on the colloidal particles will gets neutralize an they coagulate. These can also be coagulated by addingoppositelycharged ions present in the salts like sodium sulphate and magnesium chloride etc along with electrophoresis of thesolutions individually.
