Alberto,
I am a chemist. I would advise you not to use hydrazine at all. It is a really toxic chemical, and carcinogenic.
A awful lot of alternative salts will reduce PtIV to PtII,
Philippe

|Thank you, Jacques.
|Only some chemistry quiestions:
|
|> Dissolve 10 gr. of H2PTCL6.6H2O in 100 ml of distilled
|water, add 3.2
|> gr. of (potassium chlorate) KCLO3, dissolved in 30 ml of distilled
|> water and agitate, this will precipitate K2PTCL6.
|
|Why not simply potassium chloride (KCl)?
|
|> With the yellow precipitate on the filter wash it three
|times with ether
|> and let it dry until the smell of ether has disappeared.
|
|Can acetone substitute ether?
|
|
|> The dry salt
|> should be put in a Beaker of 100 ml containing 70 ml of
|distilled water
|> and should be reduced by an addition of sulfurous gas
|recently prepared.
|
|I am wondering if hydrazine sulphate might be used, in
|stoichiometric amount.
