Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is: To familiarize yourself with the topic and find key ideas for a library search.

Explanation
Option 1: To never use it

This option is overly restrictive. While Wikipedia should not be cited as a primary source in academic work, it can be a useful starting point for understanding a topic and identifying key concepts.

Option 2: To familiarize yourself with the topic and find key ideas for a library search

This is a good use of Wikipedia. It can provide a broad overview of a topic and help identify important terms and concepts that can be used to conduct more in-depth research using credible academic sources.

Option 3: Read it, and do not cite it because it's Wikipedia

While this option acknowledges the importance of not citing Wikipedia directly, it does not highlight the potential benefits of using Wikipedia as a preliminary research tool.

Option 4: To quote directly as one of the sources

This is not advisable for a college essay. Wikipedia is a tertiary source that can be edited by anyone, and its content may not always be reliable or authoritative. It is better to use primary and secondary sources for academic work.

A reaction below produced nickel tetracarbonyl, Ni(CO)4 in a 88% yield. Assuming sufficient nickel metal was used, what mass of carbon monoxide, CO, was added to the reaction if the actual yield of product, Ni(CO)4, was 185 g? Hint: Calculate the theoretical yield of nickel tetracarbonyl from the percent yield and work backwards from there. 4 CO(g)+Ni(s) -> Ni(CO)4(l) - For CO, 28.0 g / mol - For Ni(CO)4, 170.7 g / mol
