Freshly prepared precipitate sometimes gets converted to colloidal solution by:

1. coagulation
2. electrolysis
3. diffusion
4. peptisation

Correct answer: peptisation

Solution

Peptisation is the conversion of a freshly formed precipitate into a colloidal sol by adding a suitable peptizing agent. The agent adsorbs on the precipitate particles, giving them charge and preventing aggregation.
