Question
Ammoniacal nitrogen can be determined by treatment of the sample with chloroplatinic
acid, the product is slightly soluble ammonium chloroplatinate:
H2PtCls + 2NH4*
(NH4)2PTCI6 + 2H*
The precipitate decomposes on ignition, yielding metallic platinum and gaseous products:
(NH4)2PtCl6 Pt (s) + 2C12 (g) + 2 NH3 (g) + 2HCI (g)
Calculate the percentage of ammonia in a sample if 0.2115 g gave rise to 0.4693 g of
platinum.
