Nickel Hydroxide Precipitation

NiCl2 + 2NaOH → Ni(OH)2↓ + 2NaCl

概要

Nickel chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form a green precipitate of nickel(II) hydroxide (Ksp = 5.5 × 10⁻¹⁶). The apple-green precipitate does not dissolve in excess NaOH (not amphoteric) but dissolves in ammonia to form the deep blue hexaammine nickel(II) complex.
