Abstract:not pyrophoric and did not regain their black color or pyrophoric property by allowing them to cool in an atmosphere of hydrogen.
SummaryNickel salts are reduced by sodium, potassium or calcium to free nickel. It is pyrophoric and an excellent catalyst for the reaction between sodium (potassium or calcium) and ammonia. Small amounts of nickel amide are formed when the nickel salt is present in excess. The reactivity of the nickel is greater when calcium is the reducing metal. The pyrophoric property appears to… Show more
