Chapter 21, Problem 100RQ

Platinum(IV) makes compounds with coordination numbers of 6. A ${\text{ Pt}}^{\text{4+}}$ compound was made with chloride and amine ligands. The empirical formula for the compound was determined to be ${\text{PtCl}}_{\text{4}}{\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{6}}$. The isolated compound has an osmotic pressure of 0.734 atm for a 0.1 M solution, and when 0.126 g of the compound was reacted with ${\text{AgNO}}_{\text{3}}\text{, 0}\text{.0209 g of AgCl}$ was formed. How many ions does the compound form in water? What is the structure of this compound? What other isomers could have been formed? How many ions would they have released in solution?
