Methods of Preparation Of Chloroplatinic acid
It is produced in a lot of methods like
- One of the most common methods to produce Chloroplatinic acid is dissolving platinum in aqua regia ( It is a mixture of nitric acid and Hydrochloric acid in a 1:3 ratio )
Pt + 4 HNO3 + 6H2O —–> H2PtCl6 + 4 No2 + 4 H2O
- Chloroplatinic acid can be produced by exposing an aqueous suspension of Platinum particles to chlorine gas or through electrolysis.
Chloroplatinic Acid Formula
Platinum is an element of the periodic table. The atomic number of platinum is 78 and it is represented by the symbol Pt. The name comes from the Spanish word Platina which means silver. It is a transition metal. It is malleable, ductile, dense, and highly reactive. It has a white silver-ish appearance. It has six natural isotopes. It is one of the rarest elements found in the earth’s crust and is highly valuable. It is highly unreactive.
Chlorine is part of the halogen group in the periodic table and has the atomic number 17 and is represented by the symbol Cl. It is generally a yellow-green gas at room temperature and is extremely reactive and acts as a strong oxidizing agent. It has the highest electron affinity in the complete periodic table. Due to its highly electronegative nature, it is found mostly in ionic form in the earth’s crust.
