Chapter 5, Problem 5.88QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Nickel and Methane forms a gaseous compound at same temperature and pressure then the x value of given gas have to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

This pale-yellow liquid is the principal carbonyl of Nickel. It is an intermediate in the Mond process for the purification of nickel and a reagent in organometallic chemistry. Nickel carbonyl is one of the most toxic substances encountered in industrial processes.

The rate of effusion is the number of molecules passing through a porous barrier in a given time.

Using given Equation we find the molar mass of $\text{Ni}{\left(\text{CO}\right)}_x$

$\frac{{\text{r}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}\text{=}\sqrt{\frac{{\text{M}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{M}}_{\text{1}}}}$
