The compound cisplatin has been extensively studied as an antitumor agent. it is synthesized by the following, unbalanced reaction. what mass of cisplatin can be made from 65g of k2ptcl4 with sufficient nh3?

k2ptcl4(aq) + nh3(aq) --> pt(nh3)2cl2(s) + kcl(aq)

46.98 grams of cisplatin can be made from 65 grams of potassium tetrachloridoplatinate(II).

Explanation:

Mass of potassium tetrachloridoplatinate(II) = 65 g

Moles of potassium tetrachloridoplatinate(II) =

1 mol of potassium tetrachloridoplatinate(II) gives 1 mol of cisplatin.

Then 0.1566 moles of potassium tetrachloridoplatinate(II) will give:

Mass of 0.1566 moles of cisplatin:

46.98 grams of cisplatin can be made from 65 grams of potassium tetrachloridoplatinate(II).
