    Answer:

      (i) Peptisation Peptisation involves conversion of a freshly formed precipitate (such as AgCl, Fe(OH)3, Al (OH)3) into a sol by the addition of a small amount of a suitable electrolyte. An electrolyte having an ion in common with the material to be dispersed is required for sol formation. The peptisation action is due to preferential adsoprtion of the common ion of the electrolyte and the precipitate to be dispersed. As a result of preferential adsorption of the common ion, particles acquire a positive or negative charge depending on the charge on the ion adsorbed. Because of the presence of the same type of charge, the particles of the precipitate are pushed apart and get dispersed forming a stable colloidal sol. Agl is peptised by addition of as common ion) or KI ( as common ion). (is adsorbed) (is adsorbed Ferric hydroxide sol is formed by the addition ofsolution to the freshly formed precipitate of which adsorbs  and thus stable sol is formed. Similariy, an aluminium hydroxide sol is formed when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to freshly precipitated aluminium hydroxide. This is due to adsorption of  on is formed first by action of  on                                             [1]  (ii) Effect        of       temperature        on chemisorptions Adsorption is a spontaneous change taking place with decrease in entropy.and to make  should be negative. Thus adsorption is exothermic change. By Le-Chatelaine principle, increase in temperature should decrease extent of adsorption, but in chemisorptions, there is first increase and then decrease in adsorption.  (iii) Associated colloids There are certain colloids which behave as normal strong electrolytes at low concentrations but exhibit colloidal properties at higher concentrations due to formation of aggregated particles. These are called associated colloids (micelles). Examples Surface active agents like soap, detergents.                 Soap is  In aqueous solution ,there is formation of  and . In oily matter (say grease) washing with detergent soap/(R-hydrophobic) goes into oil and forms associated colloids,         [1]
