It is procured pure by the following process: Dissolve the metal sold under the name of nickel, in dilute nitric acid to saturation, and evaporate to dryness; redissolve in water, and add nitrate of lead sufficient to precipitate the arsenic acid: filter, and immerse a plate of iron to separate copper; filter again, and add solution of carbonate of potassa; wash the precipitate thus occasioned, and put it, while moist, into liquid ammonia, which dissolves the oxides of nickel and cobalt, leaving impurities to be separated by a filter; add potassa to the ammoniacal solution, which precipiates the oxide of nickel, and which, by ignition with charcoal, affords a globule of the pure metal. Nickel is a white metal, which acts upon the magnetic needle, and is itself capable of becoming a magnet. It is difficultly fusible, but absorbs oxygen readily when heated red-hot. It is malleable, and its specific gravity is about 8,5. 599-Nickel and Oxygen.--Oxide of Nickel is obtained by adding potassa to the solution of the nitrate--a precipitate falls of a pale green colour, which is a hydrate, or compound of oxide of nickel with water; this, heated to redness, affords a grey oxide, consisting of 28 nickel + 7,5 oxygen = 35,5. According to Thenard, if chlorine be passed through a mixture of the hydrate of nickel and water, a black peroxide is formed, which, when acted upon by the acids, evolves oxygen, and returns to the state of protoxide. The oxide of nickel dissolves in ammonia, forming a blue The arsenic acid is more easily separated by boiling the evaporated nitrate with the potassa. solution; of this property we sometimes avail ourselves to separate nickel from other metals, of which the oxides are insoluble in ammonia. 600.
