I’m allergic to nickel. Not majorly I just get nasty reactions around my earlobe if my earring hooks are nickel. Is this common?

Very common. I’m allergic to it also. I’ve always had to tape my jeans where the back of the button touches your jeans and stuff like that.

I’m trying to find out how much nickel goes into a standard hybrid car battery.

It would be great if the answer could include the nickel amount in lbs.

Thanks

8 to 13 kilograms per battery

Stuck on this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Given a Solution containing nickel salt, would you be able to recover the nickel in its elemental form?

Stick two carbon rods in and attach to a battery (any source of DC electricity). Nickel will plate onto the cathode (negative)

..over there.

I have to write a balanced equation for the following problem:
Heating solid nickel chloride dihydrate yields solid nickel chloride and water vapor.
I don’t know the formula for nickel chloride dihydrate because nickel can have more than one charge, please help.
can you also tell me which type of reaction it is… (combination, single/double replacement, decomposition, or combustion)

Nickel (II) chloride dihydrate : NiCl2 . 2 water
Nickel (III) chloride dihydrate: NiCl3 . 2 water

Nickel (II) chloride dihydrate ——> Nickel (II) chloride + 2 water.
Nickel (III) chloride dihydrate ——> Nickel (III) chloride + 2 water.
(Decomposition Reaction)
