0.005 g of a protective colloid is required to prevent precipitation of 1 ml of gold sol on addition of 10 ml of 10% NaCl. The gold number is
(A) 0.5
(B) 5
(C) 50
(D) 500
My answer is 0.05 milligrams. Is that correct? My computed answer is not appearing four multiple choices. So i think this question is poorly stated.
What is gold number here?

I would say its solution B 5. For 1 ml Goldsol 5 mg Protection colloid is needed.
Its 5 mg/ 1ml
Its 5 mg/ 1ml

Re: What is gold number here?
Amount of starch added = 0.005 x1000
= 0.5 mg
Prevent Coagulation by addition of 1ml of colloid = 5/100 x 10
= 0.5 mg
Hence the gold number is 0.5 mg
The gold number is the minimum weight of a protective colloid required to prevent the coagulation of 10 ml of a standard hydro gold solution when 1 ml of a 10% sodium chloride solution is added to it.

If this is the calculation, then
0.005 * 1000 = 5 not 0.5 isn't it.
The result would be 5, answer B
