Nikkelikarbonaatti
Nikkelikarbonaatti is the common name for nickel(II) carbonate, an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NiCO3. It is a pale green solid that is insoluble in water. Nickel(II) carbonate can be prepared by reacting a soluble nickel salt, such as nickel(II) sulfate, with a soluble carbonate, like sodium carbonate, in an aqueous solution. The reaction results in the precipitation of nickel(II) carbonate.
This compound is primarily used in electroplating processes to deposit a layer of nickel onto other metals.
Nickel(II) carbonate is considered a hazardous substance. It is toxic if swallowed or inhaled and can cause
