(For Exercises 4546) Solutions containing nickel(II) ion are usually bright green in color. When potassium hydroxide is added to such a nickel(II) solution, a pale-green fluffy solid forms and settles out of the solution. The fact that a reaction takes place when potassium hydroxide is added to a solution of nickel(II) ions is an example of a properly. . The fact that a solution of nickel(II) ion is bright green is an example of a property.
Magnesium chloride is an important coagulant used in the preparation of tofu from soy milk. Its solubility in water at 20C is 54.6 g/100 g. At 80C, its solubility is 66.1 g/100 g.
