Products of reaction


Platinum black powder can be manufactured from ammonium chloroplatinate by heating at 500 °C in molten sodium nitrate for 30 minutes.

I can't figure out all products of this reaction.
My guess: PtO2 + NH4Cl + NaCl + NO2 + some nitrogen oxides?

I can't find this reaction on internet, can you help me with this one?

PtO2 is platinum dioxide whereas platinum black is a fine powder of Platinum.The two are not the same

It is a two step synthesis which first step is heating ammonium chloroplatinate at 500 °C in molten sodium nitrate. Product of this reaction is reduced to platinum black afterwards.

then why have you written that you can get Pt black in the first step itself ?:P

You don't mention the reduction step in your first post.So you can't blame me for thinking that you didn't know the difference between the two.

The reation from wiki helped me to this, but I'm not sure if it is right

(NH4)2PtCl6 + 4NaNO3 -----> 2 NH4Cl + 4NaCl + PtO2 + 4NO2 + O2
