Nickel(II) chloride, also known as an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NiCl2.6H2O, is an inorganic chemical compound that exists as a green hexahydrate. Nickel(II) chloride, in various forms, is the most important source of nickel for chemical synthesis, electroplating chemicals, and nickel metal production.
Outstanding properties of Nickel chloride
– Nickel chloride is an odorless yellow salt, which turns green when hydrated. Nickel chloride salts are easily soluble in water and are highly hygroscopic.
– Molar mass: 237.96008 g/mol (6 water).
– Density: 1.92 g/cm³ (6 water).
– Melting point: 140 °C (284 °F; 413 K) (6 water).
– Solubility in water: 67.5 g/100 mL (25 °C).
– Odorless, soluble in solvents Ethylene glycol, Ethanol, Ammonium hydroxide, insoluble in ammonia, nitric acid forms complexes with many inorganic and organic ligands.
How to produce and prepare Nickel Chloride?
– Nickel (II) chloride is rarely prepared in the laboratory due to its high cost.
– Nickel (II) chloride is prepared industrially by reacting nickel ore with HCl according to the following reaction equation:
NiO + 2HCl →NiCl2 + H2O
Applications of Nickel(II) chloride chemicals in production and life
– Used in metal surface treatment (nickel electroplating, nickel electroplating and nickel electrolysis).
– Used in the production of Nickel hydroxycarbon.
– Using nickel chloride to produce nickel metal – electrolytically refining nickel through a nickel chloride solution (hydrometallurgical process).
– Used in organic synthesis.
Notes on safe use and storage of Nickel(II) chloride
– This chemical is a serious skin and eye irritant, has the risk of causing cancer and is acutely toxic. Therefore, full protective gear must be worn when exposed.
– Harmful to the ecological environment, so it is necessary to ensure the correct use – sufficient quantity and proper disposal of chemicals according to regulations.
