Which of the following preparations are condensation methods?

  1. AOxidation of with to give a sulphur sol:
  2. BGrinding a coarse suspension of a solid in a colloid mill to give a sol
  3. CHydrolysis of in boiling water to give an sol
  4. DPeptization of freshly precipitated with a little solution

Answer: A, C

Condensation methods build colloidal particles from atoms or molecules, as in the oxidation of to sulphur and the hydrolysis of . Grinding in a colloid mill and peptization break up a coarse solid or a precipitate into colloidal size, so they are dispersion methods.
