Solution: In the metallurgical process of refining nickel,
Chapter 5, Problem 5.102(choose chapter or problem)
In the metallurgical process of refining nickel, the metal is first combined with carbon monoxide to form tetracarbonylnickel, which is a gas at 43C: Ni(s) 1 4CO(g) Ni(CO)4(g) This reaction separates nickel from other solid impurities. (a) Starting with 86.4 g of Ni, calculate the pressure of Ni(CO)4 in a container of volume 4.00 L. (Assume the above reaction goes to completion.) (b) At temperatures above 43C, the pressure of the gas is observed to increase much more rapidly than predicted by the ideal gas equation. Explain.
