He then added salammoniac to precipitate the platinum as ammonium chloroplatinate and mercurous cyanide to precipitate the palladium as palladium cyanide. After filteringoff the precipitate he decomposed the excess mercurous cyanide inthe filtarate by adding hydrochloric acid and evaporating to dryness. When he washed the residue with alcohol everything dissolved except a beautiful dark red powder which proved to be a double chloride of sodium and a new metal which because of the rose color of its salts Dr. Wollaston named 'Rhodium'.
