The central carbon is

are

to a first approximation.

Why this value? We look to  

VSEPR theory

. There are 3 regions of electron density around the central carbon, and the most stable geometry is a trigonal plane. While there is a  

carbonyl

group, i.e. a  

C

=

O

bond, the  

π

bond is conceived to lie above and below this trigonal plane.

The  

carbonyl oxygen

is likewise conceived to be  

s

-hybridized

, however, here, there are 2 lone pairs on the oxygen centre.

the answer is na (sodium)

the dissociation of nickel hydroxide is follows:

the concentration of hydroxide ion is

the equilibrium constant value of nickel hydroxide is = 6.1 * 10^-^1^6 and thus equilibrium equation can be written as:

thus, concentration of ni is 0.23 * 10^-^4 mol /l
