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

With this in mind, the reaction would be:

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

I hope it helps!
