In order to coagulate, there must be more ions. ... But there will be three ions when MgCl₂ dissociates (Mg²⁺ and 2Cl⁻), also, there will be more charge on Mg (Mg²⁺) than when KCl dissociates.

Why MgCl2 is a better coagulant than Kcl for AS2S3 sol?

The salt As2S3 is a negatively charged salt. According to Hardy and Schulz rule, the ions having higher positive charge value will attract more negative charged ions. Here, Mg2+ has 2 positive ions where K+ has 1 positive ion. As the charge of Mg2+ is more, it'll attract more negative charged ions; so gravitational force will work downward and will easily settle down than K+. That's why MgCl2 is a better coagulant than KCl.
