    Analysis shows that nickel oxide has the formula\[N{{i}_{0.98}}O\]. The percentage of Ni present as \[N{{i}^{2+}}\]and\[N{{i}^{3+}}\]respectively will be

    A) 99%, 1%                  

    B) 98%, 2%

    C) 97%, 3%                  

    D) 96%, 4%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    If amount of O-atoms=100 then, amount of Ni-atoms = 98 Let \[N{{i}^{2+}}=x\], then \[N{{i}^{3+}}=98-x\] Total charge on 100 \[{{O}^{2-}}ions=200\] Total charge on \[N{{i}^{2+}}\]and \[N{{i}^{3+}}=2x+3(98-x)\] For neutrality, \[2x+3(98-x)=200\] Or, \[x=94\] % of \[N{{i}^{2+}}=\frac{94}{98}\times 100=96%\]and % of \[N{{i}^{3+}}=100-96=4%\]
