Answer: In the metallurgical process of refining nickel,
Chapter 5, Problem 102P(choose chapter or problem)
In the metallurgical process of refining nickel, the metal is first combined with carbon monoxide to form tetraearbonylnickel, which is a gas at 43°C:
\(\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{s})+4 \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}(\mathrm{g})\)
This reaction separates nickel from other solid impurities.
(a) Starting with 86.4 g of Ni. calculate the pressure of \(\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}\) in a container of volume 4.00 L. (Assume the above reaction goes to completion.)
(b) At temperatures above 43°C. the pressure of the gas is observed to increase much more rapidly than predicted by the ideal gas equation. Explain.
