Enthalpy of Vaporization of Nickel (Ni) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

All atoms need to receive a certain amount of energy (Enthalpy) to change to the gas state, even Nickel. Ok, so what is the enthalpy of vaporization for an atom of Ni?

Note: Learn more about the enthapy of vaporization here.

In the case of Nickel the enthalpy of vaporization is 371.8 Kilojoules per mole. Now let's check some cool facts about Nickel that most don't know about...

Nickel Data

Nickel Enthalpy of Vaporization

371.8 Kilojoules per mole

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Used in electroplating and metal alloys because of its resistance to corrosion. Also in nickel-cadmium batteries; as a catalyst and for coins.

Atomic Mass

58,6934

Sources

Chiefly found in pentlandite [(Ni,Fe)9S8] ore. The metal is produced by heating the ore in a blast furnace which replaces the sulfur with oxygen. The oxides are then treated with an acid that reacts with the iron not the nickel.

Description

Hard, malleable, silvery-white metal. Found in the earth's crust in portions averaging 70 ppm. It can be polished to a lustrous finish. Virtually no corrosion under normal conditions.

Atomic Symbol

Ni

Name Origin

German: kupfernickel (false copper).

Atomic Number

28

Discovery

Discovered By: Axel Cronstedt
Year: 1751
Location: Sweden

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
