The correct answer is: 1440 m molL-1

The minimum concentration of an electrolyte in millimoles per litre required to cause precipitation of a sol in two hours is called coagulating value.

42.12 % means 100 ml solution contain 42.12 g of salt.moles of salt = 42.1258.5 = 0.72 moles = 720 milimoles

Since 100 ml required 720 milimoles

therefor 1 L will required 7200 milimoles.

It will coagulate in 10 hours so for 2 hours = 5×7200 = 14400 mili mol L-1
