How much platinum is there in the human body. I am doing a science project and need really facts about platinum?
The human body doesn't contain platinum - excepting the situations when drugs with platinum are used.
What is used to separate sugar and water?
evaporation is used to separate sugar and water.
What metals are used in chemotherapy?
Complexes of Platinum
Why is platinum used to make wire?
all that I know is that jewelry, weapons and battle armor contain platinum. The catalytic converters on cars contain platinum also.
What electrodes are used in conductometric titrations?
The platinum electrode is used in coductometry.
What materials is platinum used in?
Platinum is used in many jewellery.
Where do you find a upgrade for Pokemon plantinum?
You have to buy Pokemon Platinum. (Its a separate game!)
Why is platinum used?
Platinum is used, because it is ideal for diamonds and other gemstones.
Why is platinum used for pacemakers?
platinum is a metal that never corrodes
Why is platinum used for laboratory apparatuses?
The motivation is that platinum is very unreactive.
What is the Components of platinum?
Platinum is used as a component of several metal products, such as electrodes.
How can you separate platinum out of a catalytic converter?
There are special facilities for catalyst recycling. The effort of getting platinum out of a catalyst isn't worth it due to the low quantity and hazardous for health due to the high toxicity of platinum under the conditions that the catalyst has undergone.
What metal is shiny used for jewelry and in catalytic converters for cars?
Platinum
What metal is used as an electrode?
Platinum
How is platinum used?
Sorry. I took this from Wikipedia: Catalyst The most common use of platinum is as a catalyst in chemical reactions, many times as platinum black. It has been employed in this application since the early 1800s, when platinum powder was used to catalyze the ignition of hydrogen. The most important application of platinum is in automobiles as a catalytic converter, which allows the complete combustion of low concentrations of unburned hydrocarbon from the exhaust into carbon dioxide and water vapor. Platinum is also used in the petroleum industry as a catalyst in a number of separate processes, but especially in catalytic reforming of straight run naphthas into higher-octane gasoline which becomes rich in aromatic compounds. PtO2, also known as Adams' catalyst, is used as a hydrogenation catalyst, specifically for vegetable oils.[21] Platinum metal also strongly catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas.[31] Standard From 1889 to 1960, the meter was defined as the length of a platinum-iridium (90:10) alloy bar, known as the International Prototype Meter bar. The previous bar was made of platinum in 1799. The International Prototype Kilogram remains defined by a cylinder of the same platinum-iridium alloy made in 1879.[32] The standard hydrogen electrode also utilizes a platinized platinum electrode due to its corrosion resistance, and other attributes.[33] Other In the laboratory, platinum wire is used for electrodes; platinum pans and supports are used in thermogravimetric analysis because of the stringent requirements of chemical inertness upon heating to high temperatures (~1000 °C). Platinum is used as an alloying agent for various metal products, including fine wires, noncorrosive laboratory containers, medical instruments, dental prostheses, electrical contacts, and thermocouples. Platinum-cobalt, an alloy of roughly three parts platinum and one part cobalt, is used to make relatively strong permanent magnets.[21] Platinum-based anodes are used in ships, pipelines, and steel piers.[4]
