  1. A 92
  2. B 94
  3. C 96
  4. D 98
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 96

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let there be 100 formula units of \(\mathrm{Ni}_{0.98} \mathrm{O}_{100}\). Thus, for \(100 \mathrm{O}^{2-}\) ions, there are 98 nickel ions \(\left(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}\right.\) or \(\left.\mathrm{Ni}^{3+}\right)\). Let \(\mathrm{x}=\) number of \(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}\) ions.…
