- (For Exercises 4546) Solutions containing nickel(II) ion are usually bright green in color. When potassium hydroxide is added to such a nickel(II) solution, a pale-green fluffy solid forms and settles out of the solution. The fact that a reaction takes place when potassium hydroxide is added to a solution of nickel(II) ions is an example of a properly. . The fact that a solution of nickel(II) ion is bright green is an example of a property.arrow_forwardIs there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 mole ratio and a sample of water vapor?

Individual circuit elements are often connected using very small copper “wires” deposited directly onto the surface of the chip. In some processors, these copper interconnects are about 22 nm wide. How many copper atoms would be in a 1-mm length of such an interconnect, assuming a square cross section?
