That's just the way it is you chince deal with it

in 1838 was too busy to finish a reaction and because he was in a hurry he chinced the reaction and randomly added Pt. that's how he discovered that Pt was a catalyst through chincing

yes, yes I still remember that fine evening on September 30th 1838. we were busy chincing notes in a local geography class when a fellow greaser figured out that Pt was used as a catalyst. This phenomenon left us feeling great and ready to release some loads.

kid all u gotta know is some greasers heated out and instead of using the normal catalyst copper they chinced some pt and substituted it.

What is the chemical formula hydrogen catalyst?

The chemical formula for a hydrogen catalyst would depend on the specific catalyst being used. Common hydrogen catalysts include platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and nickel (Ni).


What does Pt over an arrow stand for in chemical equations?

Platinum, Pt, is a catalyst used to promote the reaction. Without the Pt, the reaction is very very slow or does not occur. Platinum is a true catalyst and is not part of the reaction. The catalytic converter in automobiles is an example. The platinum is not consumed, but promotes the breakdown of harmful gases in exhaust to less harmful gasses.


Can pt and pd be used in the hydrogenation of alkenes?

Yes, both platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) can be used as catalysts in the hydrogenation of alkenes. These metals are often used in heterogeneous catalysis to facilitate the addition of hydrogen to alkenes, leading to the formation of alkanes.


Why is platinum used in a catalyst?

One of the compound of Pt that is used as an anti cancer drug is cis platin ie; Pt(NH3)2Cl2. In this compound the two NH3 groups are on same side by which they can link to the nitrogen bases in the DNA of the malignant cell and can prevent their proliferation.

Yes. it is a part of recycling of catalyst.


Is a catalyst used up in a reaction?

Yes, a catalyst can be re-used, because It is NOT actually used in a chemical reaction. A catalyst will increase the rate of reaction by attracting reactants, but the catalyst is not a reactant. However, the reuse cannot be done indefinitely then, depending on the severity of the reaction conditions, it can be occur a small, but accumulative deactivation of the catalys.
