Question

 

 Cisplatin is an anticancer agent used for the treatment of solid tumors such as in breast cancer and is prepared by reacting potassium tetrachloroplatinate (K2PtCl4) and ammonia (NH3). The other product generated is KCl. 

a) Write the balanced equation for this reaction. 

…………. + …………. …………. + …………. 

b) If 10.00 g of potassium tetrachloroplatinate is mixed with 0.500 g of ammonia (NH3), identify the limiting reactant, and calculate the theoretical yield. 

c) If 3.52 g of Cisplatin is actually produced, what is the percent yield of Cisplatin?
