49. $$Fe{\left( {OH} \right)_3}$$   sol can be more easily coagulated by $$N{a_3}P{O_4}$$   in comparison to $$KCl$$  because

A mass of $$N{a_3}P{O_4}$$   is more than $$KCl$$  hence it is more effective than $$KCl.$$
B phosphate ion $$\left( {PO_4^{3 - }} \right)$$  has higher negative charge than $$C{l^ - }$$  ion hence are more effective for coagulation.
C $$KCl$$  is more soluble than $$N{a_3}P{O_4}$$   hence less effective for coagulation.
D $$N{a^ + }$$  ions are more effective than $${K^ + }$$  ions for coagulation.
Answer :   phosphate ion $$\left( {PO_4^{3 - }} \right)$$  has higher negative charge than $$C{l^ - }$$  ion hence are more effective for coagulation.
