Not that many. It is wonderfully resistant to most stuff, including oxidation in air. That's why it's a good choice for making jewelry. It can be corroded by caustic alkalis, cyanides, halogens and sulfur, and it is soluble in aqua regia. Platinum can act as a catalyst in a number of situations. The most popular one is as the active element in automobile catalytic converters. Wikipedia has additional information, and a link is provided.
