Abstract

Chemical equilbria of nickel chloride in HCl solution at <TEX>$25\;{^{\circ}C}$</TEX> were analyzed by considering chemical equilibria, mass and charge balance equations. The activity coefficients of solutes were calculated by using Bromley equation. The necessary thermodynamic properties, such as the equilibrium constant for the formation of Ni<TEX>$Cl^+$</TEX> at zero ionic strength and interaction parameter, were evaluated by applying Bromley equation to the stability constant data reported in the literature. It was found that most nickel exists as <TEX>$Ni^{2+}$</TEX> in HCl solution up to 5 molality HCl. The pH values of Ni<TEX>$Cl_2-HCl-H_2O$</TEX> system at <TEX>$25\;{^{\circ}C}$</TEX> calculated in this study agreed well with the pH values measured by employing pH meter.
