Freshly prepared precipitate sometimes gets converted to colloidal solution by:

  • A. coagulation
  • B. electrolysis
  • C. diffusion
  • D. peptisation

Step-by-step solution

Freshly prepared precipitate can be converted into a colloidal solution by adding a suitable electrolyte. This process is known as peptisation, where the electrolyte breaks down the precipitate into colloidal particles.
