Detailed Solution

Peptization takes place forming a positively charged colloidal sol of Fe(OH)₃. Peptization is a process of passing of a precipitate into colloidal particles by adding suitable electrolyte.

A reddish brown colored colloidal solution is obtained by adding the small quantity of ferric chloride solution to the freshly precipitated ferric hydroxide.

Fe(OH)₃ have a tendency to adsorb preferentially the Fe⁺³ ions present in the solution as Fe⁺³ ions are common to the lattice of Fe(OH)₃ particle which impart positive charge to the colloidal particles present in the solution.
