Chapter 11, Problem 11.99QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The pressure of ${\text{Ni(CO)}}_{\text{4}}$ gas and ideal gas equation for the given reaction has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas is the most usually used form of the ideal gas equation, which describes the relationship among the four variables P, V, n, and T. An ideal gas is a hypothetical sample of gas whose pressure-volume-temperature behavior is predicted accurately by the ideal gas equation.

$\text{PV = nRT}$

Combined with the easy formation from $\text{CO}$ and even impure nickel, this decomposition is the basis for the Mond process for the purification of nickel.
