Question

Freshly prepared precipitate sometimes gets converted to colloidal solution by?

Answer 1

• The process of peptization is the technique of converting a precipitate into a colloidal solution by shaking it with a dispersion medium in the presence of a small quantity of electrolytes.
• During peptization, the precipitate adsorbs one of the ions of the electrolyte on its surface.
• The development of a positive or negative charge on precipitates ultimately breaks up into smaller particles of the size of a colloid.

Therefore, the freshly prepared precipitate is sometimes transformed into a colloidal solution by peptization.
