The answer is so obvious! Davy wrote the procedure down correctly and he really did use *nitrous* acid. His supreme mastery of chemistry obviously resulted in him finding the synthesis and use of nitrous acid to be so trivially basic, so as not to even warrant a passing mention of his synthesis of it.

In case you ever want to revisit this again, I've done a bit of digging. Found a couple of contemporary sources that reference the paper in question. "A Dictionary of Chemistry and Mineralogy, with Their Applications" by Andres Ure and "A System of Chemistry: in Four Volumes, Volume 2" by Thomas Thomson. According to them, you were right about using nitric acid, though it may not have needed to be fuming. Davy has also apparently done a bunch of other work with platinum compounds, so there might be some hints in that work as to how to progress from here. Based on these sources claiming he used "potash ley", it's likely they mean potassium hydroxide. Interestingly, apparently no one has ever produced platinum sulfate under modern laboratory conditions (according to a paper from 2015 on the theoretical properties of it), even though Edmund Davy supposedly did so. So it may very well be worth replicating Davy's experiment up to that stage, and testing the product to see if it's really platinum sulfate.
Since so many carbonates are insoluble, using the hydroxide instead may fix the problem.

Just found the channel and I love it! Instantly subscribed. I’m an amateur chemist at best but I’d thought I’d throw my hat in the game on the linguistics, see if maybe we can figure out what went wrong. A lot of the chemical names are obviously pretty antiquated - a product of chemistry being a relatively new field. At that time, chemists were still using a lot of old alchemical names for things, which - believe me - was a total mess. Some compounds have like 12 names, sometimes the same name applies to multiple chemicals, and don’t even get me started on all the metaphorical reactions like the green lion or the bleeding sun. Wacky stuff. For example, Iron sulfate is called copperas because they were like “that’s green, must be copper right?” and it stuck for thousands of years. So anyway, here’s my thinking. Good catch on the nitrous acid being fuming nitric - I’m pretty sure you’re spot on there. But I’m almost positive that potash and soda are referring to potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide, respectively. He’s abbreviating the pseudo-chemical names “caustic potash” and “caustic soda” which were prepared by treating the actual carbonate solutions with slaked lime. They were super-common lab ingredients and were abbreviated all the time. Likewise, the kali or whatever was likely period usage for Kalium oxide or potassium oxide, which would obviously deliquesce to the hydroxide upon exposure to air. I’m not sure how dramatically that would have changed the final product, but that’s my best guess for what went wrong. If you’re ever down to try again, I’m down to watch!

It was a nice try! You might pick up "Grandad's Wonderful Book Of Chemistry" or the "Lindsay's Chemical Cross Reference" for some of those older terms. Kalium is potassium, soda is sodium, sodium carbonate is soda ash. You can make simple quality potash by mixing wood ash with water and straining the solids out. Drying and calcining that improve the quality. Heating the crude potash in a crucible to the melting point and pouring it off, will help to get a purer product.

Pretty sure soda can also refer to sodium hidroxide. In any case, I think the white powder is indeed platinum sulfate and to actually form the ammonia complex maybe you'd need to have both the pure ammonia and the hidroxide in the same reaction vessel (I know that's not what the paper says, but maybe Davy didn't quite clean the ammonia so some of it went over to the next reaction). My theory is the hidroxide would be a strong enough base to take the sulphate group from the platinum allowing for the ammonia to step in and for the explosive complex. If the white powder is a nitrate then, indeed, Davy is a god amongst men. Idk my major is in pharmaceutics, not explosives

Read Davy's text carefully: He tried to produce "fulminating platinum" analogous to the preparation of "fulminating gold". And the preparation of fulminating gold (that is an odd impure tetrammingold(III)chloride mixture with other gold(III) salts) is given by Sebalt Schwertzer in Chrysopoeeia Schwaertzeriana 1585: Solution of gold in aqua regia, precipitating with ammonia, for drying treating with a potassium salt.

I always feel there's this divide between modern and alchemist type chemistry. You'd think because they did it 200-300 years ago, it would be easy, but most of the time you have no idea how they did it! Maybe it's because they would devote years to a reaction? And the gold exploded pretty easily! I know it isn't the most expensive metal but it's not cheap... Now people want me to try and blow up palladium or rhodium and God, this channel might waste more money soon than those iPhone destruction channels
