Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{Ni}: 3 d^8 4 s^2 \quad \mathrm{Ni}^{2+}: 3 d^8\)
Since, \(\mathrm{Cl}\) is a weak field ligand, it doesn't cause pairing of electron.

Number of unpaired electrons, \(n=2\)
\(\mu=\sqrt{n(n+2)}=\sqrt{2(2+2)} \mathrm{BM}=\sqrt{8} \mathrm{BM}\) \(=2.82 \mathrm{BM}\)

p-amino-N, N-dimethylaniline is added to a strongly acidic solution of \(X\). The resulting solution is treated with a few drops of aqueous solution of \(Y\) to yield blue colouration due to the formation of methylene blue. Treatment of the aqueous solution of \(Y\) with the reagent potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) leads to the formation of an intense blue precipitate. The precipitate dissolves an excess addition of the reagent.
