Results for 'Pt':
EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
Platinum (II) can be reduced to metallic platinum fairly easily.
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
Platinum (II) can be oxidized to platinum (IV) by strong oxidizing agents.
Reduction to metallic platinum cannot be achieved by sulfite nor by stannous
chloride.
EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
Platinum (II) gives a highly coloured compound with tin (II), it is not
reduced to metallic platinum.
EXPERIMENT 4
---------------
Platinum(II) is not reduced by sulfide in acidic environments. When it is
treated with stannous ions at the same time, then a dark brown compound
is formed, but probably this is not metallic platinum but stannous sulfide.
What speaks against this is that stannous chloride does not precipitate
with H2S in acidic environments (see sequence 2), while with the Pt-compound
a dark brown compound is formed. More research will be needed to resolve
this.
