what is the balanced equation when copper metal is placed in a solution when platnium ii chloride is placed. what is the equatio

koban [17]

Answer:

$Cu~+~PtCl_2->Pt~+~CuCl_2$

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the <u>formula of Platinum (II) Chloride</u>. The cation is the atom at the left of the name (in this case $Pt^+^2$ ) and the anion is the atom at the right of the name (in this case $Cl^-$ ). With this in mind, the <u>formula would be</u> $PtCl_2$ .

Now, if we used <u>metallic copper</u> we have to put in the reaction only the <u>copper atom symbol</u> $Cu$ . So, we have as reagents:

$Cu~+~PtCl_2->$

The question now is: <u>What would be the products?</u> To answer this, we have to remember <u>"single displacement reactions"</u>. With a general reaction:

$A~+~BC->AB~+~C$
