Question
  1. Ammoniacal nitrogen can be determined by treatment of the sample with chloroplatinic
    acid; the product is slightly soluble ammonium chloroplatinate:
    H 2 PtCl 6 + 4NH 4 + → (NH 4 ) 2 PtCl 6 + 2H +
    The precipitate decomposes on ignition, yielding metallic platinum and gaseous products
    (NH 4 ) 2 PtCl 6 → Pt(s) + 2Cl 2 (g) + 2NH 3 (g) + 2HCl(g)
    Calculate the percentage of ammonia in a sample if 0.325g gave rise to 0.653g of platinum.
