Chloroplatinic acid or hexachloroplatinic acid is an inorganic compound obtained by dissolving platinum metal in aqua regia. Although often written in shorthand as H2PtCl6, it is the hydronium (H3O+) salt of the hexachloroplatinate anion (PtCl2−
6). The compound is also available as the hexahydrate.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Chloroplatinic acid breaks down to platinum(II) chloride when heated to high temperatures.
Physical
Hexachloroplatinic acid is a reddish-brown solid, very hygroscopic.
Availability
Hexachloroplatinic acid is sold by chemical suppliers, but it's expensive.
Preparation
Chloroplatinic acid can be made by dissolving platinum metal in aqua regia:
- Pt + 4 HNO3 + 6 HCl → H2PtCl6 + 4 NO2 + 4 H2O
Projects
- Platinum extraction
- Make platinum compounds
- Catalyst
- Determination of potassium
Handling
Safety
Chloroplatinic acid is harmful if ingested.
Storage
Chloroplatinic acid should be kept in closed bottles, in a closed locker.
Disposal
Should be reduced to elemental platinum and recycled.
