(a) It is a process of converting a precipitate into colloidal sol by 1M
shaking it with dispersion medium in the presence a small
13 amount of electrolyte.
During peptization, the precipitate adsorbs one of the ions of
1M 3M
the electrolyte on its surface. This causes the development of
positive or negative charge on precipitates, which ultimately
break up into smaller particles of the size of a colloid.

Positive deviation 1M

24 (i) In pure ethanol, molecules are hydrogen bonded. On adding

2M
acetone, its molecules get in between the host molecules and
break some of the hydrogen bonds between them. Thereby the 5M
escaping tendency of these components from solution into
vapour phase increases. Due to weakening of interactions, the
solution shows positive deviation from Raoult’s.
