The minimum concentration of an electrolyte in millimoles per litre required to cause precipitation of one litre of a colloidal solution in two hours is called (coagulation value or flocculation value) of the electrolyte for the sol. The smaller the quantity needed, the higher will be the coagulating power of an ion.
