(A) Effect of sodium selenosulphate concentration on the UV-visible absorption spectra of the selenium sols produced by the reaction of sodium selenosulphate with  mol dm−3 (a) acetic acid, (b) oxalic acid, and (c) gallic acid, at a fixed concentration of PVA (0.05%). (B) Effect of acid concentration, (a) acetic acid, (b) oxalic acid, and (c) gallic acid, on the absorption spectra of the selenium sols produced by reaction with  mol dm−3 sodium selenosulphate, in the presence of 0.05% PVA. (C) Effect of PVA concentration on absorption spectra of the selenium sol produced by the reaction of  mol dm−3 sodium selenosulphate with 5.0 × 10−3 mol dm−3 (a) acetic acid, (b) oxalic acid, and (c) gallic acid.
